amba pl011: workaround for uart registers lockup
This workaround aims to break the deadlock situation which raises during continuous transfer of data for long duration over uart with hardware flow control. It is observed that CTS interrupt cannot be cleared in uart interrupt register (ICR). Hence further transfer over uart gets blocked. It is seen that during such deadlock condition ICR don't get cleared even on multiple write. This leads pass_counter to decrease and finally reach zero. This can be taken as trigger point to run this UART_BT_WA. Workaround backups the register configuration, does soft reset of UART using BIT-0 of PRCC_K_SOFTRST_SET/CLEAR registers and restores the registers. This patch also provides support for uart init and exit function calls if present.
