Data is transmitted with the parity bit to 0 and addresses are transmitted with the parity bit to 1. However this usually slow down communication by adding a delay between the first byte and the others. This patch defines two non-stadard bits PARMD (that enables multidrop) and SENDA (that marks the next transmitted byte as address) that can be used to completely remove the delay during transmission by correctly managing the parity bit generation in hardware.

You're right! In this case which bit should I use for SENDA? :( Since it is referred to output data maybe can we move it into c_oflag bits?
