tty: serial: Add linflexuart driver for S32V234
Introduce support for LINFlex driver, based on: - the version of Freescale LPUART driver after commit b3e3bf2e ("Merge 4.0-rc7 into tty-next"); - commit abf1e0a9 ("tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: lock port on console write"). In this basic version, the driver can be tested using initramfs and relies on the clocks and pin muxing set up by U-Boot. Remarks concerning the earlycon support: - LinFlexD does not allow character transmissions in the INIT mode (see section 47.4.2.1 in the reference manual[1]). Therefore, a mutual exclusion between the first linflex_setup_watermark/linflex_set_termios executions and linflex_earlycon_putchar was employed and the characters normally sent to earlycon during initialization are kept in a buffer and sent afterwards. - Empirically, character transmission is also forbidden within the last 1-2 ms before entering the INIT mode, so we use an explicit timeout (PREINIT_DELAY) between linflex_earlycon_putchar and the first call to linflex_setup_watermark. - U-Boot currently uses the UART FIFO mode, while this driver makes the transition to the buffer mode. Therefore, the earlycon putchar function matches the U-Boot behavior before initializations and the Linux behavior after.
