Subject: [PATCH 0/4 V2] pch_uart: Cleanups, board quirks, and user uartclk parameter

This series does some minor clean-up to the pch_uart driver, adds support
for the Fish River Island II UART clock quirks, and introduces a user_uartclk
parameter to aid in developing for early and changing hardware.

In order to support an early serial console, we cannot rely on the pch_phub
probe function to setup the CFGCLK register. This series relies on the board
quirks and does not force the setting of the CLKREG in the pch_phub code.
Instead, it aligns with what is the default configuration (defined by firmware)
for a given board. The user_uartclk parameter provides a mechanism to force a
specific uartclk if necessary.

I looked at the PCI code briefly to see about forcing the clock to 192MHz on
all boards early on to avoid having to use quirks, but it was not clear to me
if this could be done before PCI was initialized as the IO base is derived
from pci_iomap(pdev...). Perhaps this can be done, and I would be happy to
revisit this as a follow-up patch. As this current patch series follows existing
precedent to support a specific board and it does not impact the existing boards
or the default behavior, I'd like to see this merged as is, rather than hold out
for a much more invasive change forcing the clock to 192MHz. Is this acceptable? 

V2: Incorporates Alan Cox's feedback into 2/4: Add Fish River Island II uart
    clock quirks, refactoring the clock quirks into a new function and using
    a more appropriate name for a reused string variable.
    Add support for the two firmware variants for the FRI2.
