serial.c patch for MPC8245 DUART

[Greg Allen]

The Motorola MPC8245 embedded PowerPC has an internal DUART, which
claims to be PC16550D compatible.

However, it has an additional EFR (Enhanced Feature Register) at
offset 0x2, like the Startech UARTS. The MPC8245 calls it the UART
Alternate Function Register (UAFR).

The serial.c driver in the current linuxppc_2_4_devel tree
incorrectly identifies the MPC8245 UART as an ST16650. This disallows
the use of the fifos.

This very small patch to serial.c causes the MPC8245 UART to be
identified as a 16550A.
