For the record, there is a customer of mine who reports that this commit
breaks rs485 communication on i.MX25 because RTS stops to toggle as
intended.

(Some details: uart3, fsl,uart-has-rtscts, fsl,dte-mode,
linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time, native RTS.)

I didn't debug this yet.

Best regards
Uwe
