As suggested by the serial port infrastructure documentation, the IRQ is
requested in ->startup(). However, it is never freed in the ->shutdown()
hook.
With simple systems that open the serial port once for all and always
have at least one process that keep the serial port opened, there was no
problem. But with a more complicated system (*cough* systemd *cough*),
the serial port is opened/closed many times, which at some point no
processes having the serial port open at all. Due to this ->startup()
gets called again, tries to request_irq() again, which fails.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig:config SERIAL_MVEBU_UART
drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig: bool "Marvell EBU serial port support"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.
Since the code wasn't using module_init to begin with, the init ordering
remains unchanged with this commit.
Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.
We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

No need to set .owner here. The core will do it.

Armada-3700's uart is a simple serial port, which doesn't
support. Configuring the modem control lines. The uart port has a 32
bytes Tx FIFO and a 64 bytes Rx FIFO
The uart driver implements the uart core operations. It also support the
system (early) console based on Armada-3700's serial port.
Known Issue:
The uart driver currently doesn't support clock programming, which means
the baud-rate stays with the default value configured by the bootloader
at boot time
