[PATCH] tty: amba-pl011: add support for 32-bit register access for earlycon

Add support the "mmio32" earlycon option for the pl011 device.  If
specified in the earlycon parameter, all reads/writes to pl011 registers
during early console will use 32-bit accessors.  Normally the function
uses 8-bit writes.

Normal console uses the "access_32b" field of the vendor data structure
to determine whether the registers needs 32-bit accessors.  Early console
is used before the vendor data is available, so we need a different
mechanism to choose the accessor.

Example:

	earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3ced1000
