Subject: [PATCH v8 5/7] serial: core, imx: do not set RS485 enabled if it is not supported

If the imx driver cannot support RS485 it nullifies the ports
rs485_supported structure. But it still calls uart_get_rs485_mode() which
may set the RS485_ENABLED flag nevertheless.

This may lead to an attempt to configure RS485 even if it is not supported
when the flag is evaluated in uart_configure_port() at port startup.

Avoid this by bailing out of uart_get_rs485_mode() if the RS485_ENABLED
flag is not supported by the caller.

With this fix a check for RTS availability is now obsolete in the imx
driver, since it can not evaluate to true any more. So remove this check.

Furthermore the explicit nullifcation of rs485_supported is not needed,
since the memory has already been set to zeros at allocation. So remove
this, too.
