DEFINE_UART_PORT_TX_HELPER_LIMITED() is a new helper to send characters
to the device. Use it in these drivers.

mux.c also needs to define tx_done(). But I'm not sure if the driver
really wants to wait for all the characters to dismiss from the HW fifo
at this code point. Hence I marked this as FIXME.
