serial: ucc_uart: factor out soft_uart initialization
The "soft uart" mechanism is a workaround for a silicon bug which (as far as I know) only affects some PPC-based SOCs. The code that determines which microcode blob to request relies on some powerpc-specific bits (e.g. the mfspr(SPRN_SVR) and hence also the asm/reg.h header). This makes it a little awkward to allow this driver to be built for non-PPC based SOCs with a QE, even if they are not affected by that silicon bug and thus don't need any of the Soft UART logic. There's no way around guarding those bits with some ifdeffery, so to keep that isolated, factor out the do-we-need-soft-uart-and-if-so-handle-the-firmware to a separate function, which we can then easily stub out for non-PPC.
