I'm so glad to see fixes before the dtc update landed in the kernel tree!

The kernel change for this is an ABI breakage both DT <-> kernel and
kernel <-> userspace.

Really, if you are okay with doing this, you should change it to ttySx IMO.

And since you have this, you don't even need the console praram.

The correct fix is use "serialN" for aliases.

I have a check for only known alias names which would give a better
warning, but David thought it was too restrictive.
