    Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices.
    
    There are three different fixes:
    
    1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard
      16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by
      disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled
      if a character is actually sent out.
    
      It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree
      also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround.  This patch now
      needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch.
    
    2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature
      which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy
      when the LCR is written.  This fix saves the value of the LCR and
      rewrites it after clearing the interrupt.
    
    3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to
      ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART
      before returning from the ISR.  This fix reads a non-destructive register
      on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously
      queued write transaction has also completed.
