Add UART_CAP_NOTEMT for UARTs that lack interrupt on TEMT but want to
use em485. Em485 framework needs to ensure not only FIFO is empty but
also that tx shift register is empty.
This approach uses Uwe Kleine-König's suggestion on simply
using/incrementing stop_tx timer rather than adding another timer. When
UART_CAP_NOTEMT is set and THRE is present w/o TEMT, stop tx timer is
reused to wait for the emptying of the shift register.
This change does not add the UART_CAP_NOTEMT define as it already exist
but is currently no-op. See 7a107b2c6b (Revert "serial: 8250: Handle
UART without interrupt on TEMT using em485") for further details.
Vicente Bergas reported that RTS is deasserted roughly one bit too
early losing stop bit tx. To address this problem, stop_delay now
accounts for one extra bit using rough formula /7 (assumes worst-case
of 2+5 bits). I suspect this glitch had to do with when THRE is getting
asserted. If FIFO is emptied already during the tx of the stop bit,
perhaps it leads to HW asserting THRE early for the normal frame time
formula to work accurately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
