Add support for RS-485 in Exar USB adapters.
RS-485 mode is controlled by TIOCGRS485 and TIOCSRS485 ioctls.
SER_RS485_ENABLED and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND flags are implemented.
There is only one polarity control in Exar for both RTS_ON_SEND and 
RTS_AFTER_SEND.
RS-485 delays and addressing modes are not implemented.

ok ?

I'll implement SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND and set XR_GPIO_MODE_RS485_TX_H 
according to it.

I tested sw flow and it works.

I'll remove this debug and add one to xr_set_flow_mode

dev_dbg(&port->dev, "Enabling RS-485\n");

I'll remove this debug.

What should happen if user sets SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND=1 and 
SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND=0 or vice versa ?

There is only one bit for polarity control in the Exar register.

I am thinking of using only SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND to control the 
polarity and setting _RTS_AFTER_SEND to the same value.
