[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/4] Revert "serial: ns16550: Add RX interrupt buffer support"

This reverts commit 6822cf3ec7c8768b8727573b8f4b2cb3d870b881.

As Bin Meng has tested and pointed out, we don't need the RX interrupt
for the RX buffer support at all. Just reading all available characters
into a buffer is sufficient to solve the problem with the dropped
characters upon long lines pasted into the U-Boot prompt. Since this
RX buffer support can be implemented in a generic way, without any
device specifica (e.g. for the ns16550), I'll post a new patch with
a new serial RX buffer support for DM, which all DM based serial
drivers can use.
