serial: 8250: Add UART_BUG_TXRACE workaround for Aspeed VUART

commit df8f2be2fd0b44b2cb6077068f52e05f0ac40897 upstream.

Aspeed Virtual UARTs directly bridge e.g. the system console UART on the
LPC bus to the UART interface on the BMC's internal APB. As such there's
no RS-232 signalling involved - the UART interfaces on each bus are
directly connected as the producers and consumers of the one set of
FIFOs.

The APB in the AST2600 generally runs at 100MHz while the LPC bus peaks
at 33MHz. The difference in clock speeds exposes a race in the VUART
design where a Tx data burst on the APB interface can result in a byte
lost on the LPC interface. The symptom is LSR[DR] remains clear on the
LPC interface despite data being present in its Rx FIFO, while LSR[THRE]
remains clear on the APB interface as the host has not consumed the data
the BMC has transmitted. In this state, the UART has stalled and no
further data can be transmitted without manual intervention (e.g.
resetting the FIFOs, resulting in loss of data).

The recommended work-around is to insert a read cycle on the APB
interface between writes to THR.
