drivers: serial: probe all uart devices
U-Boot DM model probe only single device at a time which is enabled and configured using device tree or platform data method. PL011 UART IP is SBSA compliant and firmware does the serial port set-up, initialization and let the kernel use UART port for sending and receiving characters. Normally software talk to one serial port time but some LayerScape platform require all the UART devices enabled in Linux for various use case. Adding support to probe all enabled serial devices like SBSA compliant PL011 UART ports probe and initialization by firmware.
