This patch series is an attempt to simplify rs485 implementation in drivers
by moving the following tasks out of the drivers into the serial core:

- ensure sane RTS settings: in case of an invalid configuration (both RTS
  after send and RTS on send set or both unset) enable RTS on send and
  disable RTS after send

- nullify the padding field of the serial_rs485 struct before it is
  returned to userspace

- copy the configuration stored in the serial_rs485 struct to the port
  configuration if setting the configuration in the driver was successfull

- limit the RTS delay to 100ms


Redundant code has been removed from the following drivers for now:

- atmel
- fsl_lpuart
- amba
- imx
- max310x
- omap-serial
- sc16is7xx
- stm32-usart

The code has been tested with the amba pl011 driver. This series applies
against tty-testing.
