it took me a long time to properly understand what you meant in your
commit message. In my setup, I have the property rs485-rts-active-low
defined, and couldn't reproduce the problem. It is only after I
commented this property that I got a warning about the "invalid RTS
setting"... I also got it by defining rs485-rts-active-high.

I suggest the following changes to the commit message:

----
When specifying flag SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND in RS485 configuration,
we get the following warning after commit 4afeced55baa ("serial: core:
fix sanitizing check for RTS settings"):

    invalid RTS setting, using RTS_AFTER_SEND instead

This results in SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND being set and the
driver always write to the register field SC16IS7XX_EFCR_RTS_INVERT_BIT,
which breaks some hardware using these chips.

The hardware supports both RTS_ON_SEND and RTS_AFTER_SEND modes, so fix
this by announcing support for RTS_ON_SEND.

If you agree to these changes, feel free to add:
