Active state means do what? And inactive? This is an output gating the 
RX signal or an input telling the receiver what to do during tx? The 
description is not adequate.

How does this property relate to 'rs485-rx-during-tx' Any combination of 
the 2 being present or not is okay? If not, you need some constraints.
