serial: Fix incorrect rs485 polarity on uart open
Commit a6845e1e ("serial: core: Consider rs485 settings to drive RTS") sought to deassert RTS when opening an rs485-enabled uart port. That way, the transceiver does not occupy the bus until it transmits data. Unfortunately, the commit mixed up the logic and *asserted* RTS instead of *deasserting* it: The commit amended uart_port_dtr_rts(), which raises DTR and RTS when opening an rs232 port. "Raising" actually means lowering the signal that's coming out of the uart, because an rs232 transceiver not only changes a signal's voltage level, it also *inverts* the signal. See the simplified schematic in the MAX232 datasheet for an example: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/max232.pdf So, to raise RTS on an rs232 port, TIOCM_RTS is *set* in port->mctrl and that results in the signal being driven low. In contrast to rs232, the signal level for rs485 Transmit Enable is the identity, not the inversion: If the transceiver expects a "high" RTS signal for Transmit Enable, the signal coming out of the uart must also be high, so TIOCM_RTS must be *cleared* in port->mctrl. The commit did the exact opposite, but it's easy to see why given the confusing semantics of rs232 and rs485. Fix it.
