serial/aspeed-vuart: Implement rx throttling

jk-ozlabs · gregkh · commit 989983ea849d · 2018-04-23T10:16:50.000+02:00
The aspeed VUART runs at LPC bus frequency, rather than being restricted
to a typical UART baud rate. This means that the VUART can receive a lot
of data, which can overrun tty flip buffers, and/or cause a large amount
of interrupt traffic.

This change implements the uart_port-&gt;throttle &amp; unthrottle callbacks,
implemented by disabling the receiver line status &amp; received data
available IRQs.
