[PATCH v5 3/6] dt-bindings: serial: add binding for rs485 rx-enable state when rs485 is disabled

RS485 can have a receiver-enable gpio (rx-enable-gpios). When rs485 is
enabled, this gpio, if provided, must be driven active while receiving.
However when RS485 is disabled this gpio should not have an undefined
state. In that case, as DE and RE pins can be connected both to this gpio,
if its state is not properly defined, can cause unexpected transceiver
behavior.
This binding depend on rx-enable-gpios to be implemented.
