[PATCH v2 2/2] serial: 8250: Define RX trigger levels for OxSemi 950 devices

["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@orcam.me.uk>]

Oxford Semiconductor 950 serial port devices have a 128-byte FIFO and in 
the enhanced (650) mode, which we select in `autoconfig_has_efr' with 
the ECB bit set in the EFR register, they support the receive interrupt 
trigger level selectable with FCR bits 7:6 from the set of 16, 32, 112, 
120.  This applies to the original OX16C950 discrete UART[1] as well as 
950 cores embedded into more complex devices.

For these devices we set the default to 112, which sets an excessively 
high level of 112 or 7/8 of the FIFO capacity, unlike with other port 
types where we choose at most 1/2 of their respective FIFO capacities.  
Additionally we don't make the trigger level configurable.  Consequently 
frequent input overruns happen with high bit rates where hardware flow 
control cannot be used (e.g. terminal applications) even with otherwise 
highly-performant systems.

Lower the default receive interrupt trigger level to 32 then, and make 
it configurable.  Document the trigger levels along with other port 
types, including the set of 16, 32, 64, 112 for the transmit interrupt 
as well[2].
