These should usually be declared in a board specific header. There were
compatibility macros in altera_uart.c which defined them to NOPs in case
the board header did not properly define them. But I remove them as per
request by Alan Cox (Message-ID: 20100301181920.3952c3e7@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk).

Should we add them again (maybe to altera_uart.h)? Or would it be better
to define a config symbol which is set in the board specific Kconfig and
altera_uart depends on it?
