Commit e8759ad17d ("serial: uapi: Add support for bus termination")
introduced the ability to enable rs485 bus termination from user space.
So far the feature is only used by a single driver, 8250_exar.c, using a
hardcoded GPIO pin specific to Siemens IOT2040 products.
Provide for a more generic solution by allowing specification of an
rs485 bus termination GPIO pin in the device tree: Amend the serial
core to retrieve the GPIO from the device tree (or ACPI table) and amend
the default ->rs485_config() callback for 8250 drivers to change the
GPIO on request from user space.
Perhaps 8250_exar.c can be converted to the generic approach in a
follow-up patch.

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 Restructured Text 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.
