SubjectRe: [PATCH] RS485: fix inconsistencies in the meaning of some variables
Hi,

I have been working on a patch series which adds hardware RS485 to the 8250
according to the latest developments. The series will be posted tomorrow after
some more tests. However, there is one thing I wondered about:

> From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be used to
> set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the delay will be
> understood by looking only at the value of delay_rts_before_send and
> delay_rts_after_send.

Do I overlook something or is SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND always the inverted
signal of SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND. So why do we need both? (BTW
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND is a non-obvious name, I think. But changing it will
probably break even more users?)

Nit: 80 char should be broken here, because that is not readable. Or put the
comment above the define.

Thanks,
