Thanks for pointing out. serial8250_unregister_port should set
serial8250_ports[line].em485 to NULL in order to prevent unneeded
activation when this struct is reused.

You would be able to use serial8250_em485_register in omap8250_probe
on &up before serial8250_register_8250_port(&up) if
serial8250_register_8250_port could replicate em485 member state.
But there are alternatives in implementation.
serial8250_register_8250_port may either copy pointer up->em485 to
uart->em485 or perform deep copy.
