From e51e597d9f692cd7d205e3b44bb35ea3b97e7329 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baruch Siach Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 10:25:32 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: serial: imx: clarify rs485 support usage MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The i.MX UART peripheral uses the RST_B signal as input, and CTS_B as output. This is just like the DCE role in RS-232. This is true regardless of the "DTE mode" setting of this peripheral. As a result, rs485 support hardware must use the CTS_B signal to control the RS-485 transceiver. This is in contrast to generic rs485 kernel code, documentation, and DT property names that consistently refer to the RTS as transceiver control signal. Add a note in the DT binding document about that, to reduce the confusion somewhat.
