PATCH v3 1/1 serial: pl011: honour serial aliases in device tree

If the order of UART nodes is changed in the device tree, then tty dev devices are attached to different serial ports causing the console to be directed to a different physical serial port. The "serial" aliases in the device tree should prevent this.

This patch ensures that the UART driver creates tty devices that honour these aliases if a device tree is present.

---
v3: minor consistency correction
v2: use IS_ENABLED instead of ifdefs

Are you okay merging this patch?

Thanks,
