[PATCH v2 11/15] serial: core: add new I/O type for SPI and I2C bus devices

[Hugo Villeneuve <hugo@hugovil.com>]

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@dimonoff.com>

I2C/SPI serial drivers don't use the following struct uart_port variables:
    port->membase
    port->mapbase
    port->iobase

However, they are forced to set membase to a non-zero value so that
uart_configure_port() will succeed because of the following check:

    /* If there isn't a port here, don't do anything further. */
    if (!port->iobase && !port->mapbase && !port->membase)
        return;

Add a new I/O type for SPI and I2C bus devices to remove the need to
implement the kind of above-mentioned ambiguous workarounds to make them
work. Now that UART report functions are using uart_iotype_*() functions,
no more irrelevant I/O information are being printed for UPIO_BUS iotypes.

With this change, uart_match_port() will always return true for UPIO_BUS
types, and this function is not used by any of the SPI/I2C drivers.
