lynxpoint: Change SerialIO device enable reporting to ACPI

In order to report whether coreboot enabled a SerialIO device
in ACPI mode we had been relying on reading NVS in the _STA
method for the SerialIO device.

The ACPI _STA method has restrictions on what it can access
and is unable to access OperationRegions outside its scope
which means it should not be trying to read NVS.

This change adds a new SSDT to the ACPI tables and fills it
with constants that indicate whether or not a device is enabled
in ACPI mode.

The ACPI code is changed to read these variables from the
SSDT and use that instead of trying to query a variable in NVS.

Attempt to use lpt-clk driver to probe the
device clocks for SerialIO devices and see that the kernel
does not complain about accessing the GNVS region.
