Subject: [PATCH v2] tty: serial: don't do termios for BTIF

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@...iatek.com>

Bluetooth Interface (BTIF) is designed dedicatedly for MediaTek SOC with
BT in order to be instead of the UART interface between BT module and Host
CPU, and not exported to user space to access.

As the UART design, BTIF will be an APB slave and can transmit or receive
data by MCU access, but doesn't provide termios function like baudrate and
flow control setup.

Even LCR on offset 0xC that is just a FAKELCR
a. If FAKELCR[7] is equaled to 1, RBR(0x00), THR(0x00), IER(0x04)
   will not be readable/writable.

b. If FAKELCR is equaled to 0xBF, RBR(0x00), THR(0x00), IER(0x04),
   IIR(0x08), and LSR(0x14) will not be readable/writable.

So adding a new capability 'UART_CAP_NMOD' for the unusual unsupported
case.
