The half duplex emulation can be disabled on-boot or later-on using 
ioctls in systems that can switch between half and full duplex modes. In 
that case this gpio should probably be released as it can probably 
prevent enabling the transceiver-sender mode. I suggest we set the gpio 
to output active in the em485_init callback and stop driving it in the 
em485_destroy callback.
