From: Stephen Hurd <sh...@broadcom.com>

Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable NetXtreme 
chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725).

This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte 
interrupt mode results in too many interrupts.  The UART_CAP_HFIFO capability 
was added to track this.  It continues to reload the THR as long as the THRE 
and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024 is used here).
