A cleaner solution would probably be to not handle RS422 with the RS485 settings at all, but to introduce another set of ioctls to set and read it. An own RS422 structure like struct serial_rs422 { __u32 flags; #define SER_RS422_ENABLED (1 << 0) #define SER_RS422_TERMINATE_BUS (1 << 1) }; could be used as the parameter for these new ioctls. Any comments on this? Regards, Lino
