Apologies for the long delay; comments below.

Under what circumstances is p->em485 != NULL but
(p->port.rs485.flags & SER_RS485_ENABLED) is true?

ISTM, p->em485 is necessary and sufficient to determine if em485 is enabled.

In which case, this function can be eliminated and callers can be reduced to

if (p->em485)
....

Only one call site, so please drop inline.

Doesn't really need to be inline.

Not sure this is going to fly; this would be the only user of TIMER_IRQSAFE
(which was specifically introduced to workaround workqueue issues and not
meant for general use).

Newline.

What keeps start_tx() from restarting a new timer right here?

^^^^^
No need to preserve the userspace type here.

The double underline leader in an identifier is typically used to distinguish
an unlocked version from a locked version. I don't think it's necessary here
or any of the other newly-introduced functions.

Already checked that em485 was enabled in lone caller.

Line too long. And just one negation is sufficient, ie.

if (!(....) !=
!(....)) {

Does this really need to be inline?

Single caller so drop inline.

Line too long; please re-format.
This is one problem with overly long identifiers.

Block indent.

This code path should cancel start timer also.

No assignment in conditional please.

Generally, braces aren't used for single statement if..else.
That probably won't apply here after removing the assignment-in-conditional,
but I thought it worth mentioning just so you know.
