Could you please test the two attached patches and see if it solves the issue?

Unfortunately I no longer have access to the RS485 half-duplex board.

Just make sure to pass 'linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time' in your
device tree, thanks.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: imx: Support 'linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time'

According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/rs485.txt, the
"linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time" property can be used to indicate
that RS485 is enabled during boot time.

Add support for it in the driver.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] serial: imx: Disable DMA for RS485

Currently DMA support for half-duplex RS-485 does not work on i.MX6
as instead the real data being sent out, the rest of the transmit buffer
is sent (xmit->tail jumps over xmit->head in imx_transmit_buffer and
UART_XMIT_SIZE bytes are sent out).

Disable DMA for the RS485 case until a proper fix is found.
