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

Update: I just learned from Aspeed that the SIRQ polarity is actually
dependent on the interface mode, LPC vs. eSPI.

For LPC, the polarity should be set to 1, for eSPI the default of 0 is
correct.

I'll amend the patch to read the interface mode from the HW pin strap
register and day the default accordingly at driver load time.

If there are no objections, I'll leave the sysfs part in there in case it
does need to be changed.

Oskar.
