The Ambarella CV75 UART is Ambarella IP, not a Synopsys DesignWare
licensed block. At the register level it is close enough to DW APB UART
that a full custom UART driver is unnecessary: reuse 8250_dw with a
small platform quirk.

Quirks:
- keep IER ETOI (bit 5) set for RX timeout behaviour
- skip set_rate; baud clock is managed outside the UART block

This is really nice. Compare the size of this to what was initially
submitted!
