[PATCH V2 2/2] serial: bcm2835: add driver for bcm2835-aux-uart

From: Martin Sperl <kernel at martin.sperl.org>

The bcm2835 SOC contains an auxiliary uart, which is very close
to the ns16550 with some differences.

The big difference is that the uart HW is not using an internal divider
of 16 but 8, which results in an effictive baud-rate being twice
the requested baud-rate.

This driver handles this device correctly and handles the difference in
the HW divider by scaling up the clock ba a factor of 2.

The approach to write a separate (wrapper) driver instead of using a
multiplying clock and "ns16550" as compatibility in the device-tree
has been recommended by Stephen Warren.
