Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:
| Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
| formal, and "while" is the common word.
|
| [...]
|
| Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
| use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
| uses?
dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.
Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

It is not a very good practice to define the IOCTL manually instead of
using the header file.
Fix it on the documentation example.

Since commit a5f276f10f (serial_core: Handle TIOC[GS]RS485 ioctls.,
2014-11-06) serial_core handles RS485 ioctls. Drivers only need to implement
the rs485_config callback. Update serial-rs485.txt to reflect these changes.

The crisv10.c and the atmel_serial.c serial drivers intepret the fields of the
serial_rs485 structure in a different way.
In particular, crisv10.c uses SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND for the voltage of the RTS pin; atmel_serial.c,
instead, uses these values to know if a delay must be set before and
after sending. This patch makes the usage of these variables consistent
across all drivers and fixes the Documentation as well.
From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be
used to set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the
delay will be understood by looking only at the value of
delay_rts_before_send and delay_rts_after_send.

By default the atmel_serial driver in RS485 mode disables receiving data until
all data in the send buffer has been sent. This flag allows to receive data
even whilst sending data.
