On omap3630 onwards uart wer reg has bit 7
for tx wakeup enable.

Without this bit set some uart sluggishness might be seen
while printing data on console, response is better when
enabling this bit.
Tested with Beagle XM (OMAP3630)

But on omap3430 the bit is not available.
Well that's good news that it exists on 36xx+ at least.
 
But please make a few changes.

This shouldn't set this bit on UARTs that don't support it.  It should 
only be set if a hwmod dev_attr flag was set to indicate the presence of 
this feature.  Using a flag is also important since it will allow us to 
disable the workaround that we'll need for earlier OMAPs.

Also, I assume that this does not fix the RX sluggishness due to the 
missing RX timeout wakeup?

Also, this assignment should be using symbolic macros rather than raw 
bits.
