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.
