[PATCH] serial: ns16550: fall back to using uart8250/ttyS as Linux console names

Most Linux drivers use the same names, so make them the default and only
list differing ones in the different ns16550_drvdata.
This also ensures, we don't end up with <NULL> formatted into the kernel
command-line by mistake.
