After at91sam9g45 socs, the usart only support dma transfer.
This patch serial focus on:
1) distinguish pdc and dma transfer
2) support usart dma rx and tx transfer
3) distinguish usart and uart
4) support uart dma rx and tx transfer

For those only support PDC transfer socs, we use "atmel,use-pdc-rx", "atmel,use-pdc-tx" to establish a PDC transfer.
So we switch the name from "use-dma" to "use-pdc" to state more clearly.
For those only support DMA transfer socs, we use dma binding to establish a DMA transfer, detail see the last patch.
We also distinguish usart and uart by read ip name, the dbgu is regard as a uart.
Because uart lack timeout function, we use software timer to trigger rx.
