We were thinking of adding KConfig options, like

[ ] LiteUART serial port support
< >     LiteUART DMA support

and using ifdefs in the code.

The other option could be to extend LiteX itself so that the UART core
provides information about its configuration via the capabilities register.
That way the driver could configure itself automatically at runtime.

This is, however, not decided yet.
