Could you (and anybody else who has a board that uses pl011 uarts)
please test the attached patch?  I tested already on an rpi-b and it
works fine there, but I'd like to hear whether it works on something
that actually has 32-byte fifos.  It should probably be tested on an
rpi2 as well (which I don't have).
