Some uart drivers specify a rs485_config() function and then decide later to disable RS485 support for some reason (e.g. imx and ar933). In these cases userspace may be able to activate RS485 via TIOCSRS485 nevertheless, since in uart_set_rs485_config() an existing rs485_config() function indicates that RS485 is supported. Make sure that this is not longer possible by checking the uarts rs485_supported.flags instead and bailing out if SER_RS485_ENABLED is not set. Furthermore instead of returning an empty structure return -ENOTTY if the RS485 configuration is requested via TIOCGRS485 but RS485 is not supported. This has a small impact on userspace visibility but it is consistent with the -ENOTTY error for TIOCGRS485.
