The AM1808 TRM says to "always enable" the DMA bit. I figured setting it 
now could save someone trouble later if they wanted to add DMA support. 
It does not matter if it is set even if you are not using DMA.

Since we are using the special reset register that resets the state 
machine, setting UART_FCR_CLEAR_RCVR and UART_FCR_CLEAR_XMIT seems 
redundant.

And in my testing with an AM1808, UART_CAP_AFE is not automatically 
detected even though the chip has this capability, so it needs to be 
manually specified.
