Make ICR access helpers available outside 8250_port.c, however retain them as ordinary static functions so as not to regress code generation. This is because `serial_icr_write' is currently automatically inlined by GCC, however `serial_icr_read' is not. Making them both static inline would grow code produced, e.g.: $ i386-linux-gnu-size --format=gnu 8250_port-{old,new}.o text data bss total filename 15065 3378 0 18443 8250_port-old.o 15289 3378 0 18667 8250_port-new.o and: $ riscv64-linux-gnu-size --format=gnu 8250_port-{old,new}.o text data bss total filename 16980 5306 0 22286 8250_port-old.o 17124 5306 0 22430 8250_port-new.o while making them external would needlessly add a new module interface and lose the benefit from `serial_icr_write' getting inlined outside 8250_port.o.
