This doesn't seem quite right. Why do the board files have to set up
this .handle_break function; they're already setting .type=PORT_TEGRA,
which should be enough to drive the setup of any required quirks.

If plat_serial8250_port must contain this field, then
drivers/tty/serial/of_serial.c needs a similar change so that this all
works when booting using device tree.

I'm not sure what the implication is of moving the call to clr_fifo()
into uart_handle_break(). What's the benefit of one location over the other?

If the callback function is to no longer live in 8250.c itself,
arch/arm/mach-tegra/devices.c isn't logically a good place to put it,
and that file will be going away once we get rid of all the board files
and move solely to device tree.
