Subject: [PATCH]serial: 8250: Fix detect XScale port wrong

Some UARTs add enhanced functions with unused bit in
16550 standard, like UART_IER_UUE bit, it cause XScale
detect wrong. Now detect UART_IER_UUE and UART_IER_RTOIE
to reduce the annoying wrong result which cause UARTs don't
work.

Serial controller: Device 4348:3253(CH352 PCI based Multi-I/O Controller)
is a example. It use UART_IER_UUE as the LOWPOWER function,
you can get the datasheet from below urls:

http://wch-ic.com/download/list.asp?id=116
CH352DS1.PDF

http://wch-ic.com/download/list.asp?id=117
CH352DS2.PDF.

I choice UART_IER_RTOIE as another test bit, because
choice it is harmless for current code, we will set
UART_CAP_RTOIE if it is XScale port.
