[PATCH v2] tty: serial: meson_uart: Add support for kernel debugger

[Julien Masson]

The kgdb invokes the poll_put_char and poll_get_char when communicating
with the host. This patch implement the serial polling hooks for the
meson_uart to be used for KGDB debugging over serial line.

Changes since v1 [0]:
* Use readl_poll_timeout_atomic instead of looping with read + cpu_relax
  -> read every 5 usecs during 1 msec
* add some comments

Looks good, and very useful thanks!

I'm adding this to a testing branch which will get included into the
'integ' branch of my amlogic tree for some broader testing.
