Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] serial: liteuart: separate RX loop from poll timer

Move the character-receive (RX) loop to its own dedicated function,
and (for now) call that from the poll timer, liteuart_timer().

This is in preparation for adding IRQ support to the receive path.

u32, u8, void __iomem * would be better kernel types to use here.

You've also changed ch from a signed 32 to an unsigned 8.

You're no longer clearing EV_TX, but don't mention why (I understand
why with the context of the other changes, so perhaps add something to
this commit message).

uart_insert_char() expects both `status` and `ch` to be of type
`unsigned int`. Switching `ch` to 8-bit was a typo, thanks for
catching it!

I'm going to use `unsigned int status, ch` in v3, to match the
signature of `uart_insert_char()` -- hope that's OK. This will be
a separate commit preceding the "move rx loop out of poll timer"
change.

I'm adding a separate commit to document this (in v3) as well.
