Amend 8250_bcm2835aux.c to support rs485 as introduced for 8250_omap.c
by commit e490c9144c ("tty: Add software emulated RS485 support for
8250").
The bcm2835aux differs from omap chips by inverting the meaning of RTS
in the MCR register: If the bit is clear, RTS is high. With omap, it's
apparently the other way round.
Moreover, omap achieves half-duplex mode by disabling the UART_IER_RDI
interrupt and clearing the RX FIFO when TX stops. This approach doesn't
work on bcm2835aux because the UART_LSR_DR bit is set even when
UART_IER_RDI is disabled. Consequently, serial8250_handle_irq() invokes
serial8250_rx_chars() to empty the FIFO and characters are received even
though the user requested half-duplex. Solve by disabling the receiver
using the non-standard CNTL register.
Cache that register in the driver's private data for performance. Set
the private data pointer before calling serial8250_register_8250_port()
to prevent a null pointer deref in case one of the rs485 callbacks is
invoked immediately after port registration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
