Use FIELD_PREP() for these and add include for it.

Use FIELD_PREP() for these

Are these part of NI16550_PCR_WIRE_MODE_MASK, if yes, reverse order and
use FIELD_PREP() for them.

Very obvious comment, remove.

I might have asked this earlier but I don't recall anymore if there was
an answer...

This comment and debug print confuses me, because RS-485 can also be
4-wire full duplex, although it's rare to have such a setup in practice.

Also there's another recent patch where adding SER_RS422_ENABLED came
up (IIRC) so you might want to look into that discussion too if there's
something relevant for you.

This is not a good place to add such a large comment, I'd make this a
function comment instead because it's basically why you have this
function in the first place.
