PATCH 1/1 Revert "tty: serial: pl011: add ttyAMA for matching pl011 console"

This reverts commit aea9a80ba98a0c9b4de88850260e9fbdcc98360b.

It completely breaks PL011 SPCR support (a console=ttyAMA0 is required to get a console even with a valid SPCR table).

Aleksey Makarov also noticed this:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/1/324

and he is working on a more generalized patch to fix the original "double printing" problem which this reverted patch was trying to fix.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/15/223

So, let's revert the broken patch and live with the double printing until Aleksey's patch gets upstream.

This reverts commit aea9a80ba98a0c9b4de88850260e9fbdcc98360b.

I see now that Aleksey already submitted a revert and it is in tty-next, so ignore this.
