Lukas Wunner 038ee49fef serial: 8250: 8250_omap: Avoid RS485 RTS glitch on ->set_termios()
RS485-enabled UART ports on TI Sitara SoCs with active-low polarity
exhibit a Transmit Enable glitch on ->set_termios():

omap8250_restore_regs(), which is called from omap_8250_set_termios(),
sets the TCRTLR bit in the MCR register and clears all other bits,
including RTS.  If RTS uses active-low polarity, it is now asserted
for no reason.

The TCRTLR bit is subsequently cleared by writing up->mcr to the MCR
register.  That variable is always zero, so the RTS bit is still cleared
(incorrectly so if RTS is active-high).

(up->mcr is not, as one might think, a cache of the MCR register's
current value.  Rather, it only caches a single bit of that register,
the AFE bit.  And it only does so if the UART supports the AFE bit,
which OMAP does not.  For details see serial8250_do_set_termios() and
serial8250_do_set_mctrl().)

Finally at the end of omap8250_restore_regs(), the MCR register is
restored (and RTS deasserted) by a call to up->port.ops->set_mctrl()
(which equals serial8250_set_mctrl()) and serial8250_em485_stop_tx().

So there's an RTS glitch between setting TCRTLR and calling
serial8250_em485_stop_tx().  Avoid by using a read-modify-write
when setting TCRTLR.

While at it, drop a redundant initialization of up->mcr.  As explained
above, the variable isn't used by the driver and it is already
initialized to zero because it is part of the static struct
serial8250_ports[] declared in 8250_core.c.  (Static structs are
initialized to zero per section 6.7.8 nr. 10 of the C99 standard.)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
