This feels to me like the right code in the wrong place.

Is there any reasons we can't have uart_ops.rs485_config and the RS485
ioctl logic in the serial_core, or even push rs485_get/put into the tty
ioctl handler and tty ops so it's not duplicated everywhere ?

Possibly your mutex needs to cover parallel get an set, but then again
anyone doing that may well deserve what they get 8)
