The question is, could we conceivably have the need to support
switching between the three modes RS-232, RS-485, RS-422.
If yes, then the GPIO mux interface should probably allow for that.
As a case in point, the Siemens IOT 2040 has two serial ports
which can be set to either of those three modes. The signals
are routed to the same D-sub socket, but the pins used are
different. See page 46 and 47 of this document:
https://cache.industry.siemens.com/dl/files/658/109741658/att_899623/v1/iot2000_operating_instructions_enUS_en-US.pdf
The driver for this product is 8250_exar.c. It's an Intel-based
product, so no devicetree, but it shows that such use cases exist.
Thanks,
Lukas
