[patch] serial fifo size is ignored

[Dave Airlie]

When using register_serial the xmit_fifo_size parameter is accepted by the
8250 driver, and copied to the uart_port fifosize parameter, however
autoconfigure then comes along and overrides this from the
dfl_xmit_fifo_size,

this patch checks if fifosize is 0 and if it is updates from the default,
otherwise it accepts the value,

ignore the 2.6.4 in the patch, it is against 2.6.6.

Dave.
