[PATCH v2 1/2] serial: 8250: Add dts binding to rate limit serial port during overruns

[Darwin Dingel]

When this dts binding is enabled and input overrun on the serial port is
detected, serial port receive will be throttled to give some breathing room
for processing other tasks. This is particularly useful to avoid situations
where serial port HW malfunctions triggering input overruns and then other
processes get starved of processing time. Value provided will be in
milliseconds.

&serial0{
	overrun-throttle-ms = <500>;
};
