This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: 8250_exar: Set missing rs485_supported flag to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: serial-8250_exar-set-missing-rs485_supported-flag.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e11401133e5ca6e646dac894df2b19b0731b478b Author: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 3 07:18:18 2024 +0100 serial: 8250_exar: Set missing rs485_supported flag [ Upstream commit 0c2a5f471ce58bca8f8ab5fcb911aff91eaaa5eb ] The UART supports an auto-RTS mode in which the RTS pin is automatically activated during transmission. So mark this mode as being supported even if RTS is not controlled by the driver but the UART. Also the serial core expects now at least one of both modes rts-on-send or rts-after-send to be supported. This is since during sanitization unsupported flags are deleted from a RS485 configuration set by userspace. However if the configuration ends up with both flags unset, the core prints a warning since it considers such a configuration invalid (see uart_sanitize_serial_rs485()).
