Commit Message

Add "SER_RS485_MODE_RS422" flag to struct serial_rs485, so that serial
port can switch interface into RS422 if supported by using ioctl command
"TIOCSRS485".

By treating RS422 as a mode of RS485, which means while enabling RS422
there are two flags need to be set (SER_RS485_ENABLED and
SER_RS485_MODE_RS422), it would make things much easier. For example
some places that checks for "SER_RS485_ENABLED" won't need to be rewritten.

There are only two things need to be noticed:

- While enabling RS422, other RS485 flags should not be set.
- RS422 doesn't need to deal with termination, so while disabling RS485
  or enabling RS422, uart_set_rs485_termination() shall return.

---
Changes from v3 to v4:
- Include 'linux/const.h' header in '/include/uapi/linux/serial.h'
- Replace BIT() with _BITUL() which defined in
  '/include/uapi/linux/const.h'

Changes from v2 to v3:
- Remove "SER_RS422_ENABLED" flag from legacy flags.
- Revise "SER_RS422_ENABLED" into "SER_RS485_MODE_RS422".
- Remove the code which checks the conflicts between SER_RS485_ENABLED
  and SER_RS422_ENABLED.
- Add return check in uart_set_rs485_termination().

Changes from v1 to v2:
- Revise the logic that checks whether RS422/RS485 are enabled
  simultaneously.

Documentation/driver-api/serial/serial-rs485.rst could also use an update,
since it doesn't mention your new flag at all.

The documentation as it is also doesn't give a very good idea of what flags
userspace might need to set for RS-232 vs RS-422 vs RS-485 (2- or 4-wire).

If I compare this to your original patch set [1] for your hardware, then
your proposed flag would be used in the following ways, correct?

RS-232:                       rs485->flags = 0
RS-422:                       rs485->flags = SER_RS485_ENABLED|SER_RS485_MODE_RS422
RS-485 (2-wire half-duplex):  rs485->flags = SER_RS485_ENABLED
RS-485 (4-wire full-duplex):  rs485->flags = SER_RS485_ENABLED|SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX

In iot2040_rs485_config in 8250_exar.c [2] we already seem to have:
RS-232:                       rs485->flags = 0
RS-422:                       rs485->flags = SER_RS485_ENABLED|SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX
RS-485 (2-wire half-duplex?): rs485->flags = SER_RS485_ENABLED

This would seem to create an inconsistency in this API.

I've also been trying to get a driver for NI's serial hardware upstream [3]; we
have "RS-485" products that can do both RS-422/RS-485, and also have use of
functionality to toggle between the two modes, so-- whichever way this flag
goes-- I'd like to be consistent with how other drivers do it.

We can adjust 8250_exar later to also honor SER_RS485_MODE_RS422.
But yes, we have to also keep the current logic (i.e. set the RS422 mode if
SER_RS485_ENABLED|SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX is set) for backward compatibility.

Lino
