[PATCH v2] serial: pl011: implement workaround for CTS clear event issue

From: "Rajanikanth H.V" <rajanikanth.hv at stericsson.com>

Problem Observed:
- interrupt status is set by rising or falling edge on CTS line
- interrupt status is cleared on a .0. to .1. transition of the
  interrupt-clear register bit 1.
- interrupt-clear register is reset by hardware once the interrupt
  status is .0..
  Remark: It seems not possible to read this register back by the
  CPU though, but internally this register exists.
- when simultaneous set and reset event on the interrupt status
  happens, then the set-event has priority and the status remains
  .1.. As a result the interrupt-clear register is not reset to
  .0., and no new .0. to .1. transition can be detected on it when
  writing a .1. to it.
  This implies race condition, the clear must be performed at least
  one UARTCLK the riding edge of CTS RIS interrupt.

Fix:
  Instead of resetting UART as done in commit
  c16d51a32bbb61ac8fd96f78b5ce2fccfe0fb4c3
  "amba pl011: workaround for uart registers lockup" do the
  following:

  write .0. and then  .1. to the interrupt-clear register to make
  sure that this transition is detected. According to the datasheet
  writing a .0. does not have any effect, but actually it allows to
  reset the internal interrupt-clear register.

  Take into account:
  The .0. needs to last at least for one clk_uart clock period
  (~ 38 MHz, 26.08ns)

This way we can do away with the tasklet and keep only a tiny
fix triggered by the variant flag introduced in this patch.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Restore the ISR loop lockup guard pass_counter to what it was
  before the lockup fix tasklet was introduced.
