serial: stm32: add support of RX FIFO threshold
Adds the support of RX FIFO threshold in order to improve the RX FIFO management. This is done by enabling fifo threshold interrupt, instead of relying on rx empty/fifo not full irq. That basically generates one irq/char currently. With this patch: - RXCFG is set to half fifo size (e.g. 16/2 = 8 data for a 16 data depth FIFO) - irq rate may be reduced by up to 1/RXCFG, e.g. 1 over 8 with current RXCFG setting. - Receiver timeout is used to gather chars when FIFO threshold isn't reached.
