commit ebebd49a8eab5e9aa1b1f8f1614ccc3c2120f886 upstream.

Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable
NetXtreme chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725).

This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte
interrupt mode results in too many interrupts.  The UART_CAP_HFIFO
capability was added to track this.  It continues to reload the THR as long
as the THRE and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024
is used here).

<title>serial/8250_pci: add a "force background timer" flag and use it for the "kt" serial port</title>

Workaround dropped notifications in the iir register.  Register reads
coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this
device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read
data.

The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device
has an untrustworthy iir register.  In this case when we apriori know
that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and
force usage of the background timer.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 448ac154c957c4580531fa0c8f2045816fe2f0e7.

The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race
condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of
interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events.  An modem status event at the
wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status
leading to a hang.  So, revert this in preparation for using the
existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core
(UART_BUG_THRE).

<title>serial: introduce generic port in/out helpers</title>

<content type='text'>
Looking at the existing serial drivers (esp. the 8250 derived
variants) we see a common trend.  They create a hardware specific
port struct, which in turn contains a generic serial_port struct.

The other trend, is that they all create some sort of shortcut
to go through the hardware specific struct, to the serial_port
struct, which has the basic in/out operations within.  Looking
for the serial_in and serial_out in several drivers shows this.

Rather than let this continue, lets create a generic set of
similar helper wrappers that can be used on a struct port, so
we can eliminate bouncing out through hardware specific struct
pointers just to come back into struct port where possible.

There are some functions (uart_handle_dcd_change, _handle_cts_change,
_insert_char) which are big enough to not be inlined. So move them
from .h to .c. We need to export them so that modules can actually use
them.

They will be even bigger when we introduce tty refcounting to them.

While at it, cleanup the "Proud member of Uglyhacks'R'US". It means,
define uart_handle_sysrq_char only when SUPPORT_SYSRQ is set.
Otherwise define it as a macro. This is needed for some arm driver
where the second parameter is undefined if expanded.
