[PATCH v2 9/9] serial: pl011: use SPCR to setup 32-bit access

Some implementations of ARM SBSA serial port hardware require that access
to the registers should be 32-bit.  Unfortunately, the only way for
the driver to tell if it's the case is to use the data from ACPI SPCR/DBG2
tables.  In this case the value of the 'Interface Type' field of the SPCR
table is ACPI_DBG2_ARM_SBSA_32BIT.

How this value is described in the DBG2 spec:
"(deprecated) ARM SBSA (2.x only) Generic UART supporting only
32-bit accesses"
