It would be useful to make this driver support some
8250-compatible devices which have no interrupt line.
For these, we allow for no interrupt, and will fallback on
polling mode.
Note: the 8250 dt bindings state that "interrupts"
is a required property:
"interrupts : should contain uart interrupt."
But the 8250_of.c driver can live without it. So
this patch is going this way also.
