This patch adds a new DT property, "atmel,fifo-size", to enable and set the maximum number of data the RX and TX FIFOs can store on FIFO capable USARTs. Please be aware that the VERSION register can not be used to guess the size of FIFOs. Indeed, for a given hardware version, the USARTs can be integrated on Atmel SoCs with different FIFO sizes. Also the "atmel,fifo-size" property is optional as older USARTs don't embed FIFO at all. Besides, the FIFO size can not be read or guessed from other registers: When designing the FIFO feature, no dedicated registers were added to store this size. Unsed spaces in the I/O register range are limited and better reserved for future usages. Instead, the FIFO size of each peripheral is documented in the programmer datasheet. Finally, on a given SoC, there can be several instances of USART with different FIFO sizes. This explain why we'd rather use a dedicated DT property than use the "compatible" property.
