Allow serial device interrupt to be requested as an NMI during
initialization in polling mode. If the irqchip doesn't support serial
device interrupt as an NMI then fallback to it being as a normal IRQ.

Currently this NMI aware uart port only supports NMI driven programmed
IO operation whereas DMA operation isn't supported.

And while operating in NMI mode, RX always remains active irrespective
of whether corresponding TTY port is active or not. So we directly bail
out of startup, shutdown and rx_stop APIs if NMI mode is active.

Also, get rid of modification to interrupts enable mask in pl011_hwinit()
as now we have a proper way to enable interrupts for NMI entry using
pl011_enable_interrupts().

Overall: I ran out of time to do a super full review, but presumably
you're going to spin this series anyway and I'll look at it again
then.  For now a few things I noticed below...

I wish there was a better way to share code between this and
pl011_int(), but I guess it'd be too ugly?  If nothing else it feels
like you should do something to make it more obvious to anyone looking
at them that they are sister functions and any change to one of them
should be reflected in the other.  Maybe they should be logically next
to each other?

It feels like it might be beneficial to not call irq_work_queue() in a
loop.  It doesn't hurt but it feels like, at least, it's going to keep
doing a bunch of atomic operations.  It's not like it'll cause the
work to run any sooner because it has to run on the same CPU, right?

I don't think you want "goto clk_dis" here.

Wouldn't you also need to to somehow call free_nmi() in the error case?

Yes, I can make them sit logically next to each other.

AFAIK, the loop here is about checking interrupt status if another
interrupt is raised while we are servicing the prior one. But I think
it would be an unlikely case here as we defer actual work and given
the slow serial transfer rate.
