Some 8250-variants control the direction pin for RS485 in hardware. Linux has RS485 support these days, so update the 8250-driver to adhere to that. Code is based on 3.2-rc4, tested on a OMAP-based custom board with a 16V2750. A git tree can be found here: git://git.pengutronix.de/git/wsa/linux-2.6.git 8250_rs485 There is no code change since the initial post of this series. I updated some of the patch descriptions, though. A kind-of-ack from Claudio can be found here [1]. Please consider for inclusion.
