Third attempt at the serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx device.

There are three different fixes:
1. Fix for DesignWare THRE errata
- Dropped our fix since the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm"
tree also fixes it. This patch needs to be applied on top of it.

2. Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write
- Dropped the addition of UPIO_DWAPB iotype to 8250_early.c as Sergei
pointed out the fix wasn't complete and we don't require it.

3. Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue
- Fix must remain serial8250_interrupt() in order to mark interrupt as
handled.

Thanks,
Marc

Makes sense to swap the checks, i.e. to only test for UART_IIR_BUSY is this is UPIO_DWAPB.

Please turn this check into port->iotype >= UPIO_MEM, since this would be the Right Thing (RM). All iotypes beyond UPIO_MEM are memory mapped. And I thought I fixed that -- was wrong, obviously... :-/

Alan already said about this one... :-)

BTW, your patches are still corrupt by your mailer (space added to lines starting with space)
