[PATCH 2/3] [POWERPC][V3] Xilinx: of_serial support for Xilinx uart 16550.

The Xilinx 16550 uart core is not a standard 16550 because it uses
word-based addressing rather than byte-based addressing. With
additional properties it is compatible with the open firmware
'ns16550' compatible binding.

This code updates the of_serial driver to handle the reg-offset
and reg-shift properties to enable this core to be used.

V3 has fixes suggested by Grant. They were incorporated and tested.

+      iv) Xilinx Uart 16550
+
+      Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with
+      different register spacing and an offset from the base address.
+
+      Requred properties:
+       - clock-frequency : Frequency of the clock input
+       - reg-offset : A value of 3 is required
+       - reg-shift : A value of 2 is required
+
    More devices will be defined as this spec matures.
