serial: 8250: of: Add new port type for MediaTek BTIF controller on MT7622/23 SoC

MediaTek BTIF controller is the serial interface similar to UART but it
works only as the digital device which is mainly used to communicate with
the connectivity module called CONNSYS inside the SoC which could be mostly
found on those MediaTek SoCs with Bluetooth feature such as MT7622 and
MT7623 SoCs.

And the controller is made as being compatible with the 8250 register
layout with extra registers such as DMA enablement so it tends to be
integrated with reusing 8250 OF driver. However, DMA mode is not being
supported yet in the current driver.
