Generic bindings for RS485 feature included in some UARTs.
Those bindings have to be used withing an UART device tree node.
Documentation updated to link to the bindings definition.

+* RS485 serial communications
+
+The RTS signal is capable of automatically controlling line direction for
+the built-in half-duplex mode.
+The properties described hereafter shall be given to a half-duplex capable
+UART node.
+
+Required properties:
+- rs485-rts-delay: prop-encoded-array <a b> where:
+ * a is the delay beteween rts signal and beginning of data sent in milliseconds.
+ it corresponds to the delay before sending data.
+ * b is the delay between end of data sent and rts signal in milliseconds
+ it corresponds to the delay after sending data and actual release of the line.
+
+Optional properties:
+- linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time: empty property telling to enable the rs485
+ feature at boot time. It can be disabled later with proper ioctl.
+- rs485-rx-during-tx: empty property that enables the receiving of data even
+ whilst sending data.
+
+RS485 example for Atmel USART:
+ usart0: serial@fff8c000 {
+ compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
+ reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>;
+ interrupts = <7>;
+ atmel,use-dma-rx;
+ atmel,use-dma-tx;
+ linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time;
+ rs485-rts-delay = <0 200>; // in milliseconds
+ };
+
--- /dev/null
+* Atmel Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "atmel,<chip>-usart"
+ The compatible <chip> indicated will be the first SoC to support an
+ additional mode or an USART new feature.
+- reg: Should contain registers location and length
+- interrupts: Should contain interrupt
+
+Optional properties:
+- atmel,use-dma-rx: use of PDC or DMA for receiving data
+- atmel,use-dma-tx: use of PDC or DMA for transmitting data
+
+<chip> compatible description:
+- at91rm9200: legacy USART support
+- at91sam9260: generic USART implementation for SAM9 SoCs
+
+Example:
+
+ usart0: serial@fff8c000 {
+ compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
+ reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>;
+ interrupts = <7>;
+ atmel,use-dma-rx;
+ atmel,use-dma-tx;
+ };

RS485 communications. This data structure is used to set and configure RS485
parameters in the platform data and in ioctls.
+ The device tree can also provide RS485 boot time parameters (see [2]
+ for bindings). The driver is in charge of filling this data structure from
+ the values given by the device tree.
+
Any driver for devices capable of working both as RS232 and RS485 should
provide at least the following ioctls:
