[POWERPC] Xilinx: of_serial support for Xilinx uart 16550.

The Xilinx 16550 uart core is not a standard 16550 because it uses
word-based addressing rather than byte-based addressing. With
additional properties it is compatible with the open firmware
'ns16550' compatible binding.

This code updates the of_serial driver to handle the reg-offset
and reg-shift properties to enable this core to be used.

+      Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with
