[SERIAL] 8250 woraround for buggy uart
Patch from Alex Williamson This patch adds support for detecting and working around a bug in the A2 rev of the Exar ST16C2550 UART. The chip incorrectly advertises an EFR and mis-detects as having the wrong size FIFO. Much of the patch below is Russell's proposed solution to the problem. The only changes I've made are to check the FIFO size on the part (because there is a real part with the same divisor ID and larger FIFO) and save and restore the LCR register around the size_fifo() routine (it doesn't work correctly with a LCR value of 0xBF).
