[PATCH v9 14/16] serial: asc: Adopt readl_/writel_relaxed()

[Daniel Thompson]

The architectures where this peripheral exists (ARM and SH) have expensive
implementations of writel(), reliant on spin locks and explicit L2 cache
management. These architectures provide a cheaper writel_relaxed() which
is much better suited to peripherals that do not perform DMA. The
situation with readl()/readl_relaxed()is similar although less acute.

This driver does not use DMA and will be more power efficient and more
robust (due to absense of spin locks during console I/O) if it uses the
relaxed variants.

This change means the driver is no longer portable and therefore no
longer suitable for compile testing.
