Commit f45709df ("serial: 8250: Don't touch RTS modem control while
in rs485 mode") sought to prevent user space from interfering with rs485
communication by ignoring a TIOCMSET ioctl() which changes RTS polarity.

It did so in serial8250_do_set_mctrl(), which turns out to be too deep
in the call stack:  When a uart_port is opened, RTS polarity is set by
the rs485-aware function uart_port_dtr_rts().  It calls down to
serial8250_do_set_mctrl() and that particular RTS polarity change should
*not* be ignored.

The user-visible result is that on 8250_omap ports which use rs485 with
inverse polarity (RTS bit in MCR register is 1 to receive, 0 to send),
a newly opened port initially sets up RTS for sending instead of
receiving.  That's because omap_8250_startup() sets the cached value
up->mcr to 0 and omap_8250_restore_regs() subsequently writes it to the
MCR register.  Due to the commit, serial8250_do_set_mctrl() preserves
that incorrect register value:

do_sys_openat2
  do_filp_open
    path_openat
      vfs_open
        do_dentry_open
	  chrdev_open
	    tty_open
	      uart_open
	        tty_port_open
		  uart_port_activate
		    uart_startup
		      uart_port_startup
		        serial8250_startup
			  omap_8250_startup # up->mcr = 0
			uart_change_speed
			  serial8250_set_termios
			    omap_8250_set_termios
			      omap_8250_restore_regs
			        serial8250_out_MCR # up->mcr written
		  tty_port_block_til_ready
		    uart_dtr_rts
		      uart_port_dtr_rts
		        serial8250_set_mctrl
			  omap8250_set_mctrl
			    serial8250_do_set_mctrl # mcr[1] = 1 ignored

Fix by intercepting RTS changes from user space in uart_tiocmset()
instead.
