However, this is incorrect formatting.  The code following the 'if' ends
up being indented by two tabs.

This illustrates why the whole idea that tabs should only be used for
indenting is wrong.  You end up with either what you have above, or:

	if ((atmel_port->rs485.flags & SER_RS485_ENABLED) &&
		!(atmel_port->rs485.flags & SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX))
		atmel_start_rx(port);

both of which are dire for readability.  The only sane way to do this is
to ignore that stupid "indentation by tabs only" thing and do it as the
kernel code has _always_ been done over the last 19 years:

	if ((atmel_port->rs485.flags & SER_RS485_ENABLED) &&
	    !(atmel_port->rs485.flags & SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX))
		atmel_start_rx(port);

IOW, use spaces to align the wrapped 'if' statement.

And here it makes it look like there's a missing brace.
