+ * struct serial_rs485 - serial interface for controlling RS485 settings.
+ * @flags:			RS485 feature flags.
+ * @delay_rts_before_send:	Delay before send (milliseconds).
+ * @delay_rts_after_send:	Delay after send (milliseconds).
+ * @addr_recv:			Receive filter for RS485 addressing mode
+ *				(used only when %SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV is set).
+ * @addr_dest:			Destination address for RS485 addressing mode
+ *				(used only when %SER_RS485_ADDR_DEST is set).
+ * @padding0:			Padding (set to zero).
+ * @padding1:			Padding (set to zero).
+ * @padding:			Deprecated, use @padding0 and @padding1 instead.
+ *				Do not use with @addr_recv and @addr_dest (due to
+ *				overlap).
+ *
  * Serial interface for controlling RS485 settings on chips with suitable
  * support. Set with TIOCSRS485 and get with TIOCGRS485 if supported by your
  * platform. The set function returns the new state, with any unsupported bits
  * reverted appropriately.
+ *
+ * The flag bits are:
+ *
+ * * %SER_RS485_ENABLED		- RS485 enabled.
+ * * %SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND	- Logical level for RTS pin when sending.
+ * * %SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND	- Logical level for RTS pin after sent.
+ * * %SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX	- Full-duplex RS485 line.
+ * * %SER_RS485_TERMINATE_BUS	- Enable bus termination (if supported).
+ * * %SER_RS485_ADDRB		- Enable RS485 addressing mode.
+ * * %SER_RS485_ADDR_RECV - Receive address filter (enables @addr_recv). Requires %SER_RS485_ADDRB.
+ * * %SER_RS485_ADDR_DEST - Destination address (enables @addr_dest). Requires %SER_RS485_ADDRB.
