[RFC PATCH 6/7] serial: General support for multipoint addresses

This patch adds generic support for serial multipoint
addressing. Two new ioctls are added. TIOCSADDR is used to
indicate the destination/receive address. TIOCGADDR returns
the current address in use. The driver should implement
set_addr and get_addr to support addressing mode.

Adjust ADDRB clearing to happen only if driver does not provide
set_addr (=the driver doesn't support address mode).

This change is necessary for supporting devices with RS485
multipoint addressing [*]. A following patch in the patch series
adds support for Synopsys Designware UART capable for 9th bit
addressing mode. In this mode, 9th bit is used to indicate an
address (byte) within the communication line. The 9th bit
addressing mode is selected using ADDRB introduced by the
previous patch.

Transmit addresses / receiver filter are specified by setting
the flags SER_ADDR_DEST and/or SER_ADDR_RECV. When the user
supplies the transmit address, in the 9bit addressing mode it is
sent out immediately with the 9th bit set to 1. After that, the
subsequent normal data bytes are sent with 9th bit as 0 and they
are intended to the device with the given address. It is up to
receiver to enforce the filter using SER_ADDR_RECV. When userspace
has supplied the receive address, the driver is expected to handle
the matching of the address and only data with that address is
forwarded to the user. Both SER_ADDR_DEST and SER_ADDR_RECV can
be given at the same time in a single call if the addresses are
the same.

The user can clear the receive filter with SER_ADDR_RECV_CLEAR.

[*] Technically, RS485 is just an electronic spec and does not
itself specify the 9th bit addressing mode but 9th bit seems
at least "semi-standard" way to do addressing with RS485.

+5. Multipoint Addressing
+========================
+
+   The Linux kernel provides serial_addr structure to handle addressing within
+   multipoint serial communications line such as RS485. 9th bit addressiong mode
+   is enabled by adding ADDRB flag in termios c_cflag.
+
+   Serial core calls device specific set/get_addr in response to TIOCSADDR and
+   TIOCGADDR ioctls with a pointer to serial_addr. Destination and receive
+   address can be specified using serial_addr flags field. Receive address may
+   also be cleared using flags. Once an address is set, the communication
+   can occur only with the particular device and other peers are filtered out.
+   It is left up to the receiver side to enforce the filtering.
+
+   Address flags:
+	- SER_ADDR_RECV: Receive (filter) address.
+	- SER_ADDR_RECV_CLEAR: Clear receive filter (only for TIOCSADDR).
+	- SER_ADDR_DEST: Destination address.
+
+   Note: not all devices supporting RS485 support multipoint addressing.
