On the raspberry pi, you can disable the serial port to gain dynamic frequency
scaling which can get handy at times.
However, in such a configuration the serial controller gets its rx queue filled
up with zero bytes which then happily get transmitted on to whoever calls
getc() today.
This patch adds detection logic for that case by checking whether the RX pin is
mapped to GPIO15 and disables the mini uart if it is not mapped properly.
That way we can leave the driver enabled in the tree and can determine during
runtime whether serial is usable or not, having a single binary that allows for
uart and non-uart operation.

dm_serial_ops.pending should return the number of characters, not just a
valid C Boolean integer value. The existing code does already does this,
but only as an accident since BCM283X_MU_LSR_RX_READY happens to be
BIT(0). Enhance the code to be more explicit about the values it returns.

The RPi3 typically uses the regular UART for high-speed communication with
the Bluetooth device, leaving us the mini UART to use for the serial
console. Add support for this UART so we can use it.
