Re: [PATCH 1/2] serial: imx: Add rs485 support to imx thanks to rs485 functions in serial_core

Nice idea to use the padding for GPIO configuration. I've done an implementation using board-specific call-backs which doesn't work with DT.

Please add the feature to support active-low GPIOs, e.g. using rs485.padding[1].

If you run a RT-PREEMPT kernel, interrupts aren't actually disabled here. So when you enable the TXDC interrupt here, it will fire up immediately.
Move that after calling imx_transmit_buffer so you are sure there are actually characters inserted.

Can this actually happen that UCR4_TCEN is unset when in S485 mode?
