[PATCH v5 1/8] serial: 8250_dw: select port setup through platform data

Select feature discovery and DMA attachment through a platform-data setup
callback. The generic callback probes the optional registers and attaches
DMA when a FIFO size is available. Integrations with a fixed configuration
can supply their own setup before the port is registered. Allow setup to
return an error so integrations can reject invalid configuration before
registration.

Replace skip_autocfg with the Octeon setup selection. Octeon is a 64-bit
platform and continues to skip optional-register probing while retaining
its DMA setup. Select the DMA setup helper directly for this integration.
Keep generic setup for devices without matched platform data as well.
