e84290dc79 of_serial: fix section mismatch warnings
Fix the following section mismatches:

WARNING: drivers/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x5a): Section mismatch in reference from the function of_platform_serial_exit() to the variable .devinit.data:of_platform_serial_driver
The function __exit of_platform_serial_exit() references
a variable __devinitdata of_platform_serial_driver.

e34b9c94b6 [POWERPC] of_serial: add port type checking
Currently, of_serial driver supports only 8250 compatible ports, but
prepares that others can easily be added.  Yet unregister routine
assumes port is 8250.  This corrects unregister routine to check
port type.

1558f9b44e [POWERPC] of_serial: Ignore unknown serial port
Current of_serial driver assumes unknown serial port to be 8250.  But
this behavior may cause fatal problems when the serial port is not
8250.  This corrects probe routine to ignore unknown serial port.

abb4a23907 serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_core
At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the
port address, irq and base clock of any serial port.  That makes sense for
legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports
at peculiar addresses.  In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports
must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can
be unusual on embedded boards).  It doesn't make sense for userspace to change
these settings.

Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port
structure.  If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any
attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with
setserial are ignored.

In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports
probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

8d38a5b2fa [POWERPC] Open Firmware serial port driver
This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an
OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy
serial support.
It will automatically take over devices that come from the
legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device.

In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port
in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing
the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property
must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the
legacy serial driver to check for this.
