Adds the support of RX FIFO threshold in order to improve the RX FIFO management. This is done by enabling fifo threshold interrupt, instead of relying on rx empty/fifo not full irq. That basically generates one irq/char currently. With this patch: - RXCFG is set to half fifo size (e.g. 16/2 = 8 data for a 16 data depth FIFO) - irq rate may be reduced by up to 1/RXCFG, e.g. 1 over 8 with current RXCFG setting. - Receiver timeout is used to gather chars when FIFO threshold isn't reached.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
