8250_of does use the em485 emulation - see of_platform_serial_setup()
So I did go by the lazy assumption that any 8250 driver using rs485
before my series always used the interrupt driver code path, so
implicitly required to have the TEMT interrupt.

Of course, you're right that with the 8250_of maybe not all variants
actually do have this interrupt, so falling back to the polling here might
be safer.
