If it is just needing tx-enable for RS485 you might use a standard
FT232BM chip - they have support to do it transparently.
However, if you need 9-bit or complex timing it's problematic.
But even with 16550 and special kernel driver timing is hard to do it
right.
I personally build specialized USB and Ethernet devices for doing
Modbus/RTU RS485 timing.
