Find out the highest serial alias and allocate that amount of
structures/minor numbers to be able to handle all of them.
Origin setting that there are two prealocated CDNS_UART_NR_PORTS is kept
there.

Discussed here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9738445/

The same solution is done in pl011 driver.
