When a UART transmitter is connected to (eg) a RS485 driver, it is
necessary to turn the driver on/off as quickly as possible. This is
best achieved in the serial driver itself (rather than in userspace
where the latency can be quite large).
This patch allows the GPIO pin to be defined (via DT) that controls
the enabling of the driver at the start of a message, and disables
the driver when the message has been completed.
Still to do:-
Allow userspace to turn this feature on/off
Do the same for the receiver (useful for 2 wire RS485)
