PATCH v4 1/1 ns16550: change to allow 32 bit access to registers

If CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_MEM32 is defined then 32 bit memory mapped access will be used to read/write the uart registers.

This is especially useful for SoC devices that implement 16550 compatible uarts but that have peripheral access width constraints.

---
Changes for v2:
- Add endian support

Changes for v3:
- Use in_be32()/out_be32() and in_le32/out_le32() functions to provide endian support

Changes for v4:
- use u32 instead of unsigned int in include/ns16550.h to remove any ambiguity about the register size

I think the discussions in the '[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] ns16550:' confirm the above usage of the _REG_SIZE macro for determining the endianess of the uart is correct.

I can also confirm that the patch does work for me.

Cheers

Dave

Of course there's no reason for it, it's just our policy.
