[PATCH 1/6] Documentation: DT: Add bindings for FSL NS16550A UART

This patch addss the device-tree documentation for Freescale's
NS16550 UART (also called DUART).

There is a specific errata fix required in FSL NS16550 UART
which ensures that an random interrupt storm is not observed when
a break is provided as an input to the UART.
Should this not go in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/of-serial.txt as with other
NS16550A variations?

The only code for handling this string seems to live in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c. Is there a patch factoring that out
into common code? Or is the erratum not applicable to the revision used
in your ARMv8 SoC?

Thanks,
Mark.

+* Freescale DUART is very similar to the PC16552D (and to a
+  pair of NS16550A), albeit with some nonstandard behavior such as
+  erratum A-004737 (relating to incorrect BRK handling).
+
+- compatible: "fsl,ns16550"
+
+  Represents a single port that is compatible with the DUART found
+  on many Freescale chips (examples include mpc8349, mpc8548,
+  mpc8641d, p4080 and ls2085a).
+
+- reg: The base address of the UART register bank.
+
+- interrupts: A single interrupt specifier.
+
+- clock-frequency = Input clock to the baud rate divider.
+
+Example:
+	serial1: serial at 21c4600 {
+		compatible = "fsl,ns16550", "ns16550a";
+		reg = <0x0 0x21c4600 0x0 0x100>;
+		clock-frequency = <0>;
+		interrupts = <0 32 0x1>;
+	};
