[PATCH 01/11] resolve PXA<->8250 serial device address conflict

[Sergei Ianovich]

PXA serial ports have "standard" UART names (ttyS[0-3]), major
device number (4) and first minor device number (64) by default.

If the system has extra 8250 serial port hardware in addition
to onboard PXA serial ports, default settings produce a device
allocation conflict.

The patch provides a configuration option which can move onboard
ports out of the way of 8250_core by assigning a different (204)
major number and corresponding device names (ttySA[0-3]).
