serial: 8250_uniphier: use CHAR register for canary to detect power-off
The 8250 core uses the SCR as a canary to discover if the console has been powered-off. This hardware does not have SCR at offset 7, but an unused register CHAR at a different offset. As long as the character interrupt is disabled, the register access has no impact, so it is useful as an alternative scratch register.
