Oh yeah, forgot about that. There's a couple ternary operators in the 
driver that I think might be backwards, which makes it the logic levels a 
bit counter intuitive. It's:
  SER_RS485_ENABLED | SER_RS485_USE_GPIO 
for an active high RE/DE signal and:
  SER_RS485_ENABLED | SER_RS485_USE_GPIO | SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND | 
SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND
for an inverted, active low RE/DE signal.
