Is this significantly different than all the other 8250 compatible UARTs 
in 8250.yaml?

We already have 'linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time' which seems similar 
purpose. It also tells me this is not a fixed in hardware setting. If 
that property doesn't work for you, come up with something common and 
explain why. Or explain why this is completely unique to this UART.
