I've applied this one now but with the small change I just mentioned
that makes SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND determine SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND.

Since this sets SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND when neither flag is set, I
believe you get the behaviour you preferred (even if
SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND is now cleared when both flags are set).

Let me know otherwise and we'll discuss it. Here's the result:

Thanks for sticking with. I think the end result looks really good.
