Update devicetree binding for msm_serial to reflect msm_serial_probe()
getting line id (port number) from the serialN alias.

+Note: Aliases may be defined to ensure the correct ordering of the UARTs.
+The alias serialN will result in the UART being assigned port N.  If any
+serialN alias exists, then an alias must exist for each enabled UART.  The
+serialN aliases should be in a .dts file instead of in a .dtsi file.
