[PATCH 1/3] tty: serial: bcm63xx: Allow bcm63xx_uart to be built on other platforms

[Kevin Cernekee]

This device was originally supported on bcm63xx only, but it shows up on
a wide variety of MIPS and ARM chipsets spanning multiple product lines.
Now that the driver has eliminated dependencies on bcm63xx-specific
header files, we can build it on any non-bcm63xx kernel.

Compile-tested on x86, both statically and as a module. Tested for
functionality on bcm3384 (a new MIPS platform under active development).

If you have a bcm63xx CPU, you can enable its onboard
serial port by enabling this options.

[Kevin Cernekee]

Remove incorrect "bcm963xx_uart" module name; add a list of known users;
tweak grammar/indentation/capitalization.

I wrote this driver and use it daily on several machines for work, so
why not.
