Rather than sprinkling this initialization all over the place, can't the
fcr value be set up one time, when the port is first created?

Rather than implementing this translation inside this one function
(well, and convert_val2rxtrig() too), perhaps it would make sense to put
the values into uart_config[] and just look them up here. That would
better isolate the type-specific data into one place.
The comment right before UART_FCR_R_TRIG_00 in
include/uapi/linux/serial_reg.h might help when filling in any extra
fields in uart_config[].
