[PATCH v2 04/16] serial: mvebu-uart: support probe of multiple ports

From: Allen Yan <yanwei at marvell.com>

Until now, the mvebu-uart driver only supported probing a single UART
port. However, some platforms have multiple instances of this UART
controller, and therefore the driver should support multiple ports.

In order to achieve this, we make sure to assign port->line properly,
instead of hardcoding it to zero.

Changes since v1: using multiple UART ports with this driver is not a
problem anymore if not using a device tree.
