I'll try to be more precise in the future.

serial.h says

/*
  * Serial interface for controlling RS485 settings on chips with suitable
  * support. Set with TIOCSRS485 and get with TIOCGRS485 if supported by 
your
  * platform. The set function returns the new state, with any 
unsupported bits
  * reverted appropriately.
  */

This may mean only the flags, but I decided to zero the other 
unsupported fields as well.
