I also mux RTS_B even though it is unused, not sure if it this makes a
difference to also add MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT17_UART4_RTS_B in your case?

It should work like this, I don't think using an extra GPIO is
necessary.

But did you set SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX in your flags? This is counter
intuitive, but I observed that it would not work otherwise.

I am using a patched version of the busybox stty utility, I posted the
patch here, feel free to use it:
https://gist.github.com/clemensg/29bd68b3cfd719bd01002a2acde9662c

I use stty -F /dev/ttymxc4 clocal cread -hupcl -ixon -opost rs485
-rs485rtsonsend rs485rtsaftersend rs485rxduringtx

But for you it is probably rs485rtsonsend and -rs485rtsaftersend?

Clemens
