I can confirm on a Modbus/RS485 setup.

Unfortunately this doesn't fix the regression on my setup and I had to
fully revert 79d0224f6bf2. 

Since there's a Modbus layer on top, it's always TX to remote then RX.

Note that RS485 communication has never been perfect on my setup. After
TX the DE line is often held active for too long leading to corrupted
RX if too close from last TX. This leads to occasional frame loss in
Modbus but it's not a blocker. Hope to get some time to investigate.
