PATCH v3 1/1 tty: serial: imx: Fix broken RS485

From: Rickard x Andersson <[email protected]>

When about to transmit the function imx_uart_start_tx is called and in some RS485 configurations this function will call imx_uart_stop_rx. The problem is that imx_uart_stop_rx will enable loopback in order to release the RS485 bus, but when loopback is enabled transmitted data will just be looped to RX.

This patch fixes the above problem by not enabling loopback when about to transmit.

This driver now works well when used for RS485 half duplex master configurations.

Fixes 79d0224f6bf2 ("tty: serial: imx: Handle RS485 DE signal active high")
