serial: 8250: Provide flag for IER toggling for RS485
For RS485 mode, if SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX is not available, the
console ->write() callback needs to enable/disable Tx. It does
this by calling the ->rs485_start_tx() and ->rs485_stop_tx()
callbacks. However, some of these callbacks also disable/enable
interrupts and makes power management calls. This causes 2
problems for console writing:
1. A console write can occur in contexts that are illegal for
pm_runtime_*(). It is not even necessary for console writing
to use pm_runtime_*() because a console already does this in
serial8250_console_setup() and serial8250_console_exit().
2. The console ->write() callback already handles
disabling/enabling the interrupts by properly restoring the
previous IER value.
Add an argument @toggle_ier to the ->rs485_start_tx() and
->rs485_stop_tx() callbacks to specify if they may disable/enable
receive interrupts while using pm_runtime_*(). Console writing
will not allow the toggling.
For all call sites other than console writing there is no
functional change.
