The patch had no changelog - please always provide one.

I scraped some text from your covering comment and made this:

    Use the new general RS485 Linux data structure (introduced by
    Alan with commit number c26c56c0f40e200e61d1390629c806f6adaffbcc)
    in the Cris architecture too (currently, Cris still uses the old
    private data structure instead of the new one).

for a changelog.  Feel free to send better text if that is inappropriate
or incomplete.
