Hello, Hugo. My patch's changes change behaviour in one place. Now you
can select SC16IS7XX_EFCR_RTS_INVERT_BIT setting by passing
SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND (in this case this bit will be set) or
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND (in this case this bit will be clear). Previous
behaviour was always setting the bit, even if SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND is
passed, so there was no way to run hardware with bit cleared, and for
my hardware it is a requirement.
