This series tries to revive the work of Heiko Stuebner from 2020

On the boards that we are using (ringneck/puma-haikou) a hardware switch
can set the rs485 transceiver into half or full duplex mode.

In half-duplex mode the DE/RE signal of the rs485 transceiver is not
connected to an RTS signal whose control is already handled in the rs485
emulation (start/stop callbacks), but rather to a gpio. And since enabling
the receiver requires setting this gpio active we need to do that in em485
while receiving and disable it while sending to enable the driver mode.

In full-duplex mode RE is grounded and separated  from DE. Meanwhile the
rx-enable gpio remains connected to the DE pin. In this case the
receiver-enable gpio should be disabled to enable driver mode in parallel
to the enabled receiver.

This patch-series adds support for controlling the receiver mode using a
gpio in em485 for half-duplex mode while allowing users to keep using the
full-duplex feature if em485 is disabled.

Changes in v4:
- define the state of rx-enable gpio when em485 is disabled
- add rs485 half/full duplex support to ringneck/puma-haikou
- use dev_err_probe instead of dev_err if error is -EPROBE_DEFER

Changes from the 2020 submission include:
- external gpio for optional receiver-enable handling
