serial: 8250_dw: Use 64-bit access for OCTEON.
Although the existing code appears to work on most hardware, the hardware designers tell us that 8-bit access to the registers is not guaranteed to be reliable. Also the OCTEON simulation environments prohibit 8-bit accesses. For these reasons, we use __raw_readq/__raw_writeq for OCTEON. This code is protected with #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT so it still builds under configurations lacking readq/writeq. We can get rid of the #ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN, as under 64-bit accesses, OCTEON is byte order invariant.
