Many serial drivers do the same thing:
* send x_char if set
* keep sending from the xmit circular buffer until either
- the loop reaches the end of the xmit buffer
- TX is stopped
- HW fifo is full
* check for pending characters and:
- wake up tty writers to fill for more data into xmit buffer
- stop TX if there is nothing in the xmit buffer
The only differences are:
* how to write the character to the HW fifo
* the check of the end condition:
- is the HW fifo full?
- is limit of the written characters reached?
So unify the above into two helpers:
* uart_port_tx_limited() -- it performs the above taking the written
characters limit into account, and
* uart_port_tx() -- the same as above, except it only checks the HW
readiness, not the characters limit.
The HW specific operations (as stated as "differences" above) are passed
as arguments to the macros. They are:
* tx_ready -- returns true if HW can accept more data.
* put_char -- write a character to the device.
* tx_done -- when the write loop is done, perform arbitrary action
before potential invocation of ops->stop_tx() happens.
Note that the above are macros. This means the code is generated in
place and the above 3 arguments are "inlined". I.e. no added penalty by
generating call instructions for every single character. Nor any
indirect calls. (As in some previous versions of this patchset.)

The GPIO uart functions are documented in Documentation. Move and
transform this documentation into kernel-doc directly in the code and
reference it in Documentation using kernel-doc:.
This makes it easier to update, maintain and check by the build.

Some of the serial (uart_*) functions are documented twice. Once as
kernel-doc along their sources and once in Documentation. So deduplicate
these texts, merge them into kernel-doc in the sources, and link them
using kernel-doc: from the Documentation.
To be properly linked and rendered, tabulators had to be removed from
the comments.

While it's a lot of text, it always helps to keep it up to date when
it's by the source. (And not in a separate file.)
The documentation tooling also makes sure that all members of the
structure are documented. (If not, it complains loudly.)
Finally, there needs to be no comments inlined in the structure, so they
are dropped as they are superfluous now.
The compilation time of this header (tested with serial_core.c) didn't
change in my testing at all.

Add support for RS-485 multipoint addressing using 9th bit [*]. The
addressing mode is configured through ->rs485_config().
ADDRB in termios indicates 9th bit addressing mode is enabled. In this
mode, 9th bit is used to indicate an address (byte) within the
communication line. ADDRB can only be enabled/disabled through
->rs485_config() that is also responsible for setting the destination and
receiver (filter) addresses.
Add traps to detect unwanted changes to struct serial_rs485 layout using
static_assert().
[*] Technically, RS485 is just an electronic spec and does not itself
specify the 9th bit addressing mode but 9th bit seems at least
"semi-standard" way to do addressing with RS485.

Since commit 31f6bd7fad ("serial: Store character timing information
to uart_port"), per frame timing information is available on uart_port.
Uart port's timeout can be derived from frame_time by multiplying with
fifosize.
Most callers of uart_poll_timeout are not made under port's lock. To be
on the safe side, make sure frame_time is only accessed once. As
fifo_size is effectively a constant, it shouldn't cause any issues.
