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

[Oskar Senft]

Hi Jeremy

In my understanding the SIRQ polarity should be the same for all UARTs on
the particular bus, i.e. both UARTs controlled by the SuperI/O and the
VUART or PUART (pass-through). However, the host controls the UARTs on the
SuperI/O itself. The VUART is covered by this code and we don't have a
PUART driver yet.

It might make sense to have this as a global setting which each driver
could read. But wouldn't this be an exercise for the future where we
actually have a second device? I don't think the Aspeed currently has any
other devices that could generate a SIRQ (except for the PUART for which
there's no driver).

Having said that, ideally I'd like the SIRQ polarity to be auto-configured
from the LPC/eSPI HW pin strap anyway. I have the code for that almost
done. Maybe we shouldn't even have the sysfs interface for it and I should
strip that out?

Thanks
Oskar.
