serial: core: add new I/O type for SPI and I2C bus devices
I2C/SPI serial drivers don't use the following struct uart_port variables:
port->membase
port->mapbase
port->iobase
However, they are forced to set membase to a non-zero value so that
uart_configure_port() will succeed because of the following check:
/* If there isn't a port here, don't do anything further. */
if (!port->iobase && !port->mapbase && !port->membase)
return;
Add a new I/O type for SPI and I2C bus devices to remove the need to
implement the kind of above-mentioned ambiguous workarounds to make them
work. Now that UART report functions are using uart_iotype_*() functions,
no more irrelevant I/O information are being printed for UPIO_BUS iotypes.
