Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: meson_uart: Add support for kernel debugger

The kgdb invokes the poll_put_char and poll_get_char when communicating
with the host. This patch implement the serial polling hooks for the
meson_uart to be used for KGDB debugging over serial line.

It has been tested on "Le Potato" board:
https://libre.computer/products/boards/aml-s905x-cc/

Kernel command line arguments:
kgdboc=ttyAML0,115200 kgdbretry=4 nokaslr kgdbcon

Kernel modules:
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y

Warning: for single step instruction I had to apply this patch:
