+* RS485 serial communications
+
+The RTS signal is capable of automatically controlling line direction for
+the built-in half-duplex mode.
+The properties described hereafter shall be given to a half-duplex capable
+UART node.
+
+Required 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.
+
+Optional properties:
+- 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
+  whilst sending data.
+
+RS485 example for Atmel USART:
+	usart0: serial@fff8c000 {
+		compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
+		reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>;
+		interrupts = <7>;
+		atmel,use-dma-rx;
+		atmel,use-dma-tx;
+		linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time;
+		rs485-rts-delay = <0 200>;		// in milliseconds
+	};
