Zev Weiss d6c4fc0d90 serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: add PORT_ASPEED_VUART port type
[ Upstream commit a603ca60ce ]

Commit 54da3e381c ("serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: use UPF_IOREMAP to
set up register mapping") fixed a bug that had, as a side-effect,
prevented the 8250_aspeed_vuart driver from enabling the VUART's
FIFOs.  However, fixing that (and hence enabling the FIFOs) has in
turn revealed what appears to be a hardware bug in the ASPEED VUART in
which the host-side THRE bit doesn't get if the BMC-side receive FIFO
trigger level is set to anything but one byte.  This causes problems
for polled-mode writes from the host -- for example, Linux kernel
console writes proceed at a glacial pace (less than 100 bytes per
second) because the write path waits for a 10ms timeout to expire
after every character instead of being able to continue on to the next
character upon seeing THRE asserted.  (GRUB behaves similarly.)

As a workaround, introduce a new port type for the ASPEED VUART that's
identical to PORT_16550A as it had previously been using, but with
UART_FCR_R_TRIG_00 instead to set the receive FIFO trigger level to
one byte, which (experimentally) seems to avoid the problematic THRE
behavior.
