I don't know much about that qos stuff to provide an informed comment,
just two minor style issues below.

Do I understand right that this change prevents the CPU from sleeping
while RS485 is in use? If so, maybe this should be configurable? Is
this something that should better be solved in serial_core instead of
the imx driver?

Unrelated change, please drop this.

Please align the 2nd line to the opening parenthesis.
