As the de-facto standard for the drivers implementing the rs485 bindings
is to make the properties optional, despite the documentation. Wouldn't
it be better to make this property optional in the binding instead? This
wouldn't unnecessarily break old device trees and 0/0 seems a sane
default we can use when the property doesn't exist.
