From: sudheer veliseti <sudheer.open at gmail.com>

build config for DMA based UART driver in AST2500.
Total Available  UARTs in AST2500 are 4

Signed-off-by: sudheer veliseti <sudheer.open at gmail.com>
---

Changes from v3->v4:
- config name changed to SERIAL_AST_DMA_UART  
- new config AST_UART_DMA_RX_INTERRUPT  introduced 
  for selectin between  DMA interrupt based RX vs timer based uart RX

Changes in v2->v3:
- change logs added
