I've updated this to exynos_fifoszdt_serial_drv_data and
EXYNOS_FIFOSZDT_SERIAL_DRV_DATA in v4 and added a
comment that it is common struct for platforms that specify
uart,fifosize in DT.

I've also updated the YAML to make this a required property for
google,gs101-uart.

It seems samsung,exynosautov9-uart is in the yaml bindings and
exynosautov9.dtsi but never actually made it into the driver. But
it could be added to the driver and made to use the common
exynos_fifoszdt_serial_drv_data mentioned above.

I think any new platform should specify this in DT as many of these
UARTs on newer Exynos are actually universal serial IPs which can
be UART, I2C or SPI which is board dependent. So having the fifosize
in the driver, based on a SoC compatible and relying on probe order
and DT aliases seems very prone to error.

Peter.
