Seems you have issues with kernel-doc and commentary styles.

Functions in kernel doc are marked as func(), so don't forget parens.

Multi-line comment blocks are going in the style like:

/*
 * Text line 1.
 * Line 2. New sentence.
 */

You may notice the periods at the end of sentences. There is no need
to keep more heading spaces.

And you need forward declarations because of some cyclic dependency?

struct uart_8250_em485 *em485 = up->em485;

if (em485 && em485->active_timer == &em485->start_tx_timer)

?

Same for the rest of code.

…/* "rs485 start tx" timer */
