RTS is not normally a GPIO. We should be controlling the UART RTS here,
and if the UART has a magic special case RTS wired to a GPIO then really
the hardware specific part should handle that gunge. I don't care whether
the drive does it via serial_out magic or a more explicit hook but it
doesn't belong here in core code.

Likewise the mdelay probably should be in the device specific bits or
controlled by a flag as not all hardware is so braindead.

No of_ dependencies in core 8250.c either please. That looks a perfectly
good implementation of serial8250_of_probe_rs485 however, just belongs in
the right place.

GPIO assumption again needs to go

Keeping the gpio here doesn't look unreasonable if one is in use.
