Rasmus is about to add support for another RS485 related GPIO (see 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231120151056.148450-3-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ )
which has to be configured both before and after port->rs485_config(). This
does not fit very well with the idea of handling all these GPIOs in
one function. 

So I would like to revise this patch and send an updated version in a v5
of this series in which the suggestion from Hugo
(see https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231011183656.5111ba32ec0c9d43171662a1@xxxxxxxxxxx/)
is implemented to use separate functions for the GPIO configurations.

Regards,
Lino
