Any driver for devices capable of working both as RS232 and RS485 should
implement the rs485_config callback and provide rs485_supported in the
struct uart_port. The serial core calls rs485_config to do the device

========================

The Linux kernel provides addressing mode for multipoint RS-485 serial
communications line. The addressing mode is enabled with SER_RS485_ADDRB
flag in struct serial_rs485. The struct serial_rs485 has two additional
flags and fields for enabling receive and destination addresses.
communications line. The addressing mode is enabled with
``SER_RS485_ADDRB`` flag in struct serial_rs485. The struct serial_rs485
has two additional flags and fields for enabling receive and destination
addresses.

Address mode flags:
- SER_RS485_ADDRB: Enabled addressing mode (sets also ADDRB in termios).
- SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV: Receive (filter) address enabled.
- SER_RS485_ADDR_DEST: Set destination address.
- ``SER_RS485_ADDRB``: Enabled addressing mode (sets also ADDRB in termios).
- ``SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV``: Receive (filter) address enabled.
- ``SER_RS485_ADDR_DEST``: Set destination address.

Address fields (enabled with corresponding SER_RS485_ADDR_* flag):
- addr_recv: Receive address.
- addr_dest: Destination address.
Address fields (enabled with corresponding ``SER_RS485_ADDR_*`` flag):
- ``addr_recv``: Receive address.
- ``addr_dest``: Destination address.

Once a receive address is set, the communication can occur only with the
particular device and other peers are filtered out. It is left up to the
receiver side to enforce the filtering. Receive address will be cleared
if SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV is not set.
if ``SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV`` is not set.

Note: not all devices supporting RS485 support multipoint addressing.
