[PATCH] drivers/tty/serial/8250: Make Aspeed VUART SIRQ polarity configurable

I was thinking exactly the same thing (which is why I pointed it out in the
change description). Thanks for picking up on that :-D

I considered both options but decided to follow what's been done for the
sirq and lpc_address settings, as sirq_polarity should really go together
with the other two. I guess we could argue that the sirq_polarity likely
always has to have a specific setting for the specific platform, whereas
the sirq and the lpc_address might be configurable in some way from the
host at runtime.

Another reason I decided against DTS is that the properties currently read
from DTS are "standard properties" from the 8250 driver. So I wasn't sure
if it's ok to add a property that clearly specific to the 8250_aspeed_vuart
driver.

If anyone has strong feelings I can either change it from sysfs to DTS or
add DTS on top - it's quite easy to do. Thoughts?

Thanks
Oskar.
