[PATCH] KS8695: make add_preferred_console() and device name configurable

add_preferred_console() makes sense only when bootloader doesn't
provide "console" parameter or KS8695s serial port is the only
UART provided on the system. Otherwise the external UART will
be omitted even if proper "console" parameter is provided.

This patch makes add_preferred_console() configurable and port
name is now configurable too.
