This makes it much easier to integrate the driver with the rest of
the Linux (e.g. MFD subsystem).
The old method is still supported though.
Also, from now on, there is one platform device per port (no
changes are needed for the platform code, as no one registers
the devices anywhere in-tree yet).

Some Altera UART implementations doesn't route the IRQ line, so we have
to work in polling mode.

The check for the TRDY flag after writing the character is not needed.
Also do a cpu_relax() inside the loop.
Pass a struct uart_port to altera_uart_console_putc, so we do not need
to get it (and dereference pointers) for every character.

Don't take the port spinlock in uart functions where the serial core
already takes care of locking/unlocking them.
The code would actually lock up on architectures where spinlocks are
implemented (not the case on nios2 where this driver is primarily used
for now, thus this bug didn't trigger).
Also protect calling altera_uart_rx_chars/altera_uart_tx_chars in the
interrupt handler by the port spinlock.
Thanks to Ian Abbott for pointing these issues out.
