Hmm, that's odd. So

$ stty -a < /dev/ttyS5

hangs if something like below is running?

$ cat > /dev/ttyS5

Long names and constructs tend to obscure the execution flow.
Some of the names could be reduced where the meaning is obvious:

  serial8250_rts_on_send
  serial8250_rts_after_send
  serial8250_handle_start_timer
  serial8250_handle_stop_timer

These two I would inline into their lone call site:

  serial8250_rs485_emul_startup()
  serial8250_rs485_emul_shutdown()

serial8250_rs485_emul_start_tx  => __start_tx_rs485

rs485_emul => sw485/em485/emul485/soft485 ?

Or just rs485 (except for the field name and structs so as not to confuse
it with the port->rs485)

Just my 2¢

Peter Hurley
