RISC-V doesn't support interrupts for the time being, so it would be nice to
have polling mode.

To force poll mode it was added parsing of new 'poll' property under "com1="

If there is no interrupt property in UART node, then polling will be used.
According to 4.2.2 National Semiconductor 16450/16550 Compatible UART
Requirements from The Devicetree Specification v0.4
( https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/ ) the interrupt property is
optional.

Also, it is possible that interrupt '0' can be used for some architectures as
an legal UART interrupt number ( according to dts files in Linux kernel ), so
the check of the return value of platform_get_irq() was updated in case of when
device tree is used for UART initialization.
For example:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ebony.dts#L197

Changes in V5:
 - Update xen-command-line.pandoc.
 - move poll check to ns16550_uart_dt_init as in case of device tree
   initialization it is needed only to check if 'poll' is present in com1.
 - Don't init uart->irq in case when platform_get_irq() return negative value.
---
Changes in V4:
 - fix code style for ns16550_irq().
 - partially revert changes in pci_uart_config().
 - add check of "poll" property under "com<N>=" instead of "console=".
 - remove seting of polling mode in parsing of msi in parse_positional().
 - update comment above opt_com1 about Configuration string of serial port.

Don't you need to update "conf" here as well then?

As said before, please also update parse_namevalue_pairs(). I would
appreciate (but not insist) if you also added recognition of "msi"
at this occasion.

Is strstr() really appropriate? Shouldn't it simply be strcmp(), with
there not being any other sub-options in the non-x86 case?

Plus the question remains of it necessarily being com1: Is there no
way with DT to have multiple serial ports (e.g. one for the console
and one for a debugger)? If there indeed isn't, then unconditionally
using opt_com1[] here is of course okay, but then opt_com2[]
is effectively a dead variable and recognizing "com2" on the command
line (rather than spitting out an error) is then also a mistake. IOW
in that case both would want keeping x86-only (with a new #ifdef, as
we certainly don't want to have com1 and com2 stuff in separate
places).

Yes, sure, 'conf' shoud be updated too.

I'll add 'msi' too.

It would better to use strcmp(). Thanks.

Actually it can be even more serial ports. For example, I have a board
with 3 UARTs ( serial ports ). 
In this case, it looks that I should have 3 variable of opt_com{1-3}[]?

Taking into account that opt_com{1-2} variables are needed only for
configuration of serial ports in X86 ( in DT-based architectures all
configuration info is inside a node of UART ) then we can check only
opt_com1[].

Well, this suggests there's a general shortcoming of the DT part of the
code here. I'm afraid I have to refer you to the Arm folks for guidance.
