Commit fe7f0fa43cef ("serial: 8250: Support rs485 devicetree properties")
retrieves rs485 properties for 8250 drivers. These properties are read
from the firmware node of the device within uart_get_rs485_mode(). If the
firmware node does not exist, then the rs485 flags are still reset. Thus,
8250 driver cannot set rs485 flags to enable a defined rs485 mode during
driver loading. This is no problem so far, as no 8250 driver sets the
rs485 flags.
The default rs485 mode can also be set by firmware nodes. But for some
devices a firmware node does not exist. E.g., for a PCIe based serial
interface on x86 no device tree is available and the ACPI information of
the BIOS often cannot by modified. In this case it shall be possible,
that a driver works out of the box by setting a reasonable default rs485
mode.
If no firmware node exists, then it should be possible for the driver to
set a reasonable default rs485 mode. Therefore, reset rs485 flags only
if a firmware node exists.

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 reStructuredText 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.
