dw/omap/bcm7271 handle their variants of this in their
own drivers. LPC32xx (PORT_LPC3220) has no dedicated 8250 glue driver.
  
I gated it on port->type because LPC32xx is the only hardware I can test
on, and I wanted to avoid changing behaviour on 8250 variants I can't
verify. That said, the read only fires on a bogus IIR=RX_TIMEOUT with LSR.DR
clear, which a healthy 16550 never reports, so it's harmless on other
parts. Unless you object, I'll drop the PORT_LPC3220 gate to allow for generic
handling.
