Subject: [PATCH v1 08/12] serial: 8250: enable AFE on ports where FIFO is 16 bytes

Intel Quark has 16550A compatible UART with autoflow feature enabled. It has
only 16 bytes of FIFO. Currently serial8250_do_set_termios() prevents to enable
autoflow since the minimum requirement of 32 bytes of FIFO size.

Decrease a FIFO size limitation to 16 bytes to allow autoflow control be
enabled on such UARTs.
