Add IRQ support to the LiteX LiteUART serial interface
Changes from v4:
- picked up r/b Ilpo Järvinen on 12/14 and 13/14
- 12/14 ("add IRQ support for the RX path"): using dev_err() instead
of combining pr_err() and pr_fmt(); also, remove superfluous comment
> Changes from v3:
> - picked up r/b Ilpo Järvinen on select subset of commits
> - rebased entire series on top of tty-next tree
> - 2/14 ("use bit number macros"): explicitly include <linux/bits.h>
> - 3/14 ("remove unused uart_ops stubs"): don't add gratuitous comment
> removed later on in the series
> - 12/14 ("add IRQ support for the RX path"): add shadow irq register
> to support polling mode and avoid reading hardware mmio irq register
> to learn which irq flags are enabled
> - this also simplifies both liteuart_interrupt() and liteuart_startup()
> - 13/14 ("add IRQ support for the TX path"):
> - removed superfluous curly braces from liteuart_interrupt()
> - simplified [start|stop]_tx() by using shadow irq register from 12/14
> - simplified liteuart_tx_chars() by rebasing on top of tty-next tree
>
> Changes from v2:
> - further split out "separate RX loop from poll timer" into
> dedicated patches highlighting additional changes explicitly:
> - factoring out tty_flip_buffer_push() (6/14)
> - ack only RX events in RX loop (7/14)
> - pass constant flag to uart_insert_char() directly (8/14)
> - fix variable types in rx loop (9/14)
> - separating RX loop from poll timer (10/14)
> - added patch (11/14) to move function definitions to a more
> convenient location, making subsequent changes easier to read
> in diff patch form.
> - fixes and clarifications for RX path IRQ support patch (now 12/14):
> - only return IRQ_HANDLED for RX events
> - use pr_fmt() to improve style of irq setup error message
> - remove unnecessary locking from around single-register access
> - modify TX path to support both IRQ-mode and polling (13/14)
> - move polling-only liteuart_putchar() behind same conditional
> (CONFIG_SERIAL_LITEUART_CONSOLE) as the rest of the code that's
> still using it.
>
> Changes from v1:
> - split minor cosmetic changes out into individual patches
> (1/3 became 1..5/7)
> - patches 6/7 and 7/7 unchanged (used to be 2/3 and 3/3)
