From: Konstantin Pugin <ria.freelander@gmail.com>
When specifying flag SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND in RS485 configuration,
we get the following warning after commit 4afeced55baa ("serial: core:
fix sanitizing check for RTS settings"):
invalid RTS setting, using RTS_AFTER_SEND instead
This results in SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND being set and the
driver always write to the register field SC16IS7XX_EFCR_RTS_INVERT_BIT,
which breaks some hardware using these chips.
The hardware supports both RTS_ON_SEND and RTS_AFTER_SEND modes, so fix
this by announcing support for RTS_ON_SEND.
Fixes: 267913ecf737 ("serial: sc16is7xx: Fill in rs485_supported")

Greg KH, who is maintainer of TTY/serial subsystem, usually asks to separate
fixes from new features. So, sending this patch separately may not only help
him, but let's move forward with your stuff.

Do I need to increase the version number in split send? And if I need
to do so, then how I should do it? Only on new driver? Or only on fix?
Should I CC linux-stable in fix patch?

Nope, the opposite, i.e. drop it to v1 (and mention in the comments area, that's after the cutter '---' line, that it's a split from this series). > And if I need > to do so, then how I should do it?
