UART autodetection breaks on the Au1300 but the IP blocks are

Pass uart type on to the 8250 driver via platform data, and move
the MSR quirk to another place sind autoconf() is now no longer

  s/sind autoconf/since autoconfig/

Yeah, I suck at writing descriptions. Will fix.

Tested on DB1200 and DB1300.
The mips parts apply on top of Ralf's mips-queue tree.

  Good to know this has been implemented.

David Daney implemented this recently for his Octeon port, it's a very handy feature for sure.
