[ Upstream commit af0179270977508df6986b51242825d7edd59caf ]
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND relate to behavior
within RS485 operation. The driver checks if they have the same value
which is not possible to realize with the hardware. The check is taken
regardless of SER_RS485_ENABLED flag and -EINVAL is returned when the
check fails, which creates problems.
This check makes it unnecessarily complicated to turn RS485 mode off as
simple zeroed serial_rs485 struct will trigger that equal values check.
In addition, the driver itself memsets its rs485 structure to zero when
RS485 is disabled but if userspace would try to make an TIOCSRS485
ioctl() call with the very same struct, it would end up failing with
-EINVAL which doesn't make much sense.
Resolve the problem by moving the check inside SER_RS485_ENABLED block.
