UART node.

+Optional properties:
- rs485-rts-delay: prop-encoded-array <a b> where:
* a is the delay between 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.

- 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
There are a few device trees that specify one of the already optional properties without also having the up to now required property rs485-rts-delay. Additionally there is no technical reason to require rs485-rts-delay and that's also what most drivers implement. So give existing users and implementers a blessing and document rs485-rts-delay as optional. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> --- This is new in v2 and implements the binding update making rs485-rts-delay optional as suggested by Sascha.
