Could you please try to split this long paragraph to a slightly shorter
bits such that it would be easier to read.

Makes sense.

Unrelated to this patch but I came across it while reviewing yours... Do
you BTW have any idea why atmel_serial_probe() sets ATMEL_US_USMODE_NORMAL
inside rs485_enabled block? I'd have expected it wanted to do
ATMEL_US_USMODE_RS485 there too like is done in atmel_config_rs485().
