Subject: [PATCH] serial: stm32: Fix comparisons with undefined register

    drivers/tty/serial/stm32-usart.c: In function ‘stm32_receive_chars’:
    drivers/tty/serial/stm32-usart.c:130: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type
    drivers/tty/serial/stm32-usart.c: In function ‘stm32_tx_dma_complete’:
    drivers/tty/serial/stm32-usart.c:177: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

stm32_usart_offsets.icr is u8, while UNDEF_REG = ~0 is int, and thus
0xffffffff.

As all registers in stm32_usart_offsets are u8, change the definition of
UNDEF_REG to 0xff to fix this.

Untested due to lack of hardware.
