This patch adds support for "ns16850" as supported value
of the compatible node in flat device tree uart descriptions.
This is needed for example when you have a XR16C2850 uart
connected to a PPC405's external bus controller.

Add support for the nwp serial device which is connected to a DCR bus. It
uses the of_serial device driver to determine necessary properties from
the device tree. The supported device is added as serial port number 85.
NWP stands for network processor and it is part of the QPACE - Quantum
Chromodynamics Parallel Computing on the Cell Broadband Engine project.
The implementation is a lightweight uart implementation with the focus
to consume as little resources as possible and it is connected to a
DCR bus.

The Xilinx 16550 uart core is not a standard 16550 because it uses
word-based addressing rather than byte-based addressing. With
additional properties it is compatible with the open firmware
'ns16550' compatible binding.
This code updates the of_serial driver to handle the reg-offset
and reg-shift properties to enable this core to be used.

The of_serial driver queries the current-speed property and attempts
to use it to register the custom_divisor property of the uart_port.
However, if current-speed is not set, then this code will dereference
a bad pointer. The fix is to only set custom_divisor when a
current-speed property appears in the device tree.

Fix the following section mismatches:
WARNING: drivers/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x5a): Section mismatch in reference from the function of_platform_serial_exit() to the variable .devinit.data:of_platform_serial_driver
The function __exit of_platform_serial_exit() references
a variable __devinitdata of_platform_serial_driver.

Currently, of_serial driver supports only 8250 compatible ports, but
prepares that others can easily be added. Yet unregister routine
assumes port is 8250. This corrects unregister routine to check
port type.

Current of_serial driver assumes unknown serial port to be 8250. But
this behavior may cause fatal problems when the serial port is not
8250. This corrects probe routine to ignore unknown serial port.

At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the
port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for
legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports
at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports
must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can
be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change
these settings.
Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port
structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any
attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with
setserial are ignored.
In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports
probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an
OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy
serial support.
It will automatically take over devices that come from the
legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device.
In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port
in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing
the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property
must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the
legacy serial driver to check for this.
