From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo at kunbus.com>

The following series includes cleanup and fixes around RS485 in the serial
core and uart drivers:

Patch 1: ar933x: Fix check for RS485 support
Patch 2: Remove superfluous code in ar933x.
Patch 3: Set the rs485 termination GPIO in the serial core. This is needed
	 since if the gpio is only accessible in sleepable context. It also
	 is a further step to make the RS485 handling more generic.
Patch 4: Move sanitizing of RS485 delays into an own function. This is in 
	 preparation of patch 4.
Patch 5: Sanitize RS485 delays read from device tree.
Patch 6: Correct RS485 delays in binding documentation.
Patch 7: Remove redundant code in 8250_dwlib.
Patch 8: Remove redundant code in 8250-lpc18xx.

Changes in v4:
- fixed logical error found by 
- capitalize "uart" and "gpio" in commit messages

Changes in v3:
- remove obsolete patch (due to changes by Ilpo)
- corrected and rephrase commit messages (pointed out by Andy)
- remove superfluous check (pointed out by Andy)
- separate ar933x UART bugfix and cleanup into different patches
  (as suggested by Ilpo)
- put the ar933x fix at the beginning of the series (as suggested by Andy)

Changes in v2:
- print a warning if termination GPIO is specified in DT/ACPI but is not
  supported by driver 
- fixed commit message for devtree documentation (as suggested by Andy)
- fixed code comment
- added patch 7
