Add ttyVK support to driver to allow console access to VK card from host.

y is the tty device number on the VK card

Was it not possible to:
- emulate a standard 8250 UART and just expose an additional bar + MSI
vector such that one could get a debug UART out of this device with
little to no work on the host side?
- or use virtio console and implement virtio on the firmware that runs
on VK?
It's not a lot of code, but it just feels like this should not have to
be done at all.
