Right, to be more precise between getting the gpio and the error check:


	port->rs485_term_gpio = devm_gpiod_get_optional(dev, "rs485-term",
							GPIOD_OUT_LOW);

	if (port->rs485_term_gpio &&
	    !(port->rs485_supported->flags & SER_RS485_TERMINATE_BUS)) {
		dev_warn(port->dev,
			"%s (%d): RS485 termination gpio not supported by driver\n",
			port->name, port->line);
		devm_gpiod_put(dev, port->rs485_term_gpio);
		port->rs485_term_gpio = NULL;
	}

	if (IS_ERR(port->rs485_term_gpio)) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(port->rs485_term_gpio);
		port->rs485_term_gpio = NULL;
		return dev_err_probe(dev, ret, "Cannot get rs485-term-gpios\n");
	}

Lino
