v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20250923221756.26770-1-marnix.rijnart@xxxxxxxx
Changes:
* Added fixes tags
* Cc stable

Commit 4afeced ("serial: core: fix sanitizing check for RTS settings")
introduced a regression making it impossible to unset
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND from userspace if SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND is
unsupported. Because these devices need RTS to be low on TX (fecf27a)
they are effectively broken.

The hardware supports both RTS_ON_SEND and RTS_AFTER_SEND,
so fix this by announcing support for SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND,
similar to commit 068d35a.

Fixes: 4afeced55baa ("serial: core: fix sanitizing check for RTS settings")
Fixes: fecf27a373f5 ("serial: 8250_pci: add RS485 for F81504/508/512")
