[PATCH 2/2] ARM: S3C: Configuration override for UART names

S3C UART devices are named s3c2410_serialX and it is
inconsistent with the kernel at boot time (console=ttySACx)
This patch allows the config file to override this and
use the standard name instead.

+ The kernel and most other SoC use the ttySACx naming scheme
+ for UART device file naming. The default for S3C is to use
+ s3c2410_serialX, and it confuses a lot of distros; it is also
