From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4f39aca2360c82dccd2f5179d77e94aab665bea6 upstream. In RS485 mode the transmission of a high priority character fails since it is written to the data register before the transmitter is enabled. Fix this in pl011_tx_chars() by enabling RS485 transmission before writing the character.
