[PATCH V2] workaround for mpc52xx erratum #364 (serial may not be reset in break state)

[Wolfram Sang]

Hello Rene,

I haven't actually applied the patch, just a few comments from a
glimpse:

> +/* macro with helper macros to safely reset rx which mustn't be done in break state.
> + * This is a workaround for processor bug #364 described in MPC5200 (L25R) Errata.

Minor nit: Kernel CodingStyle suggests long comments like this

/*
 * comment starts here
 * ...
 */

Major nit: Please add to the comment that this bug is still present on
the MPC5200B, although it is not in its errata sheet. Thils will avoid
later confusion. (Out of interest, did you contact Freescale about this
bug?)

> + *
> + * The workaround resets the baudrate to 4800, waits for a stable state and resets break state repeatedly if necessary.
> + * Optionally it can release the lock while waiting.
> + * 1 character at 4800 baud takes 2ms, 3ms should be enough for 1 character at higher speed and 1 char at lowest
> + * works only with longer delays

Did I get it right that there are cases where the workaround won't work?

'bool unlock'?

Those are magic values. If you can't build them using defined
constants, at least document them, please.
