[PATCH] ns16550: Fix DM serial operation with non-DM SPL

Commit 9591b63531fa ("Convert CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_MEM32 et al to Kconfig")
moved some NS16550 configuration variables into Kconfig.
Among those there is CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_REG_SIZE, which used to be only
defined for SPL build runs, but now is always set (thanks for Kconfig).
However this breaks the gating logic in ns16550.h, where we *override*
this variable for DM build, as we learn this setting from the DT instead.

As a consequence, we did the register shift twice: once when building
the register struct (as required for non-DM SPL builds), but then also
again in the driver after we parsed the reg-shift DT property.

Change the logic to match what the comment says: only observe
CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_REG_SIZE when not using DM, and ignore it otherwise.

This fixes U-Boot proper for all sunxi boards, since they are relying
on this driver being build non-DM for the SPL, but DM for U-Boot proper.

Hi,

this is admittedly a quick fix, to get sunxi booting again. This whole
code around the register access looks somewhat bonkers, to be honest,
but at the moment I don't have time to rework this.
Another possible "quicker fix" would be use a separate variable for the
register shift, so that we don't have to redefine a Kconfig variable.
Another idea would be to get rid of the struct for the registers
altogether, to remove the hacks about when to shift.

Cheers,
Andre
