[PATCH] dt-bindings: serial: snps-dw-apb-uart: Add property to drain TX FIFO

[Richard Laing]

An issue has been observed on the Broadcom BCM56160 serial port which
appears closely related to a similar issue on the Marvell Armada 38x
serial port.

Add a new property to force the TX FIFO to be drained before
changing the UART_LCR.
