[PATCH] serial: of-serial: fetch line number from DT

The general agreed way to specify a fixed line number
for a serial console is to provide a "serial" alias
in the devicetree. Start parsing this property in
of_serial.

As 3.16-rc6 landed the fix to avoid the regression that this patch
was causing on Tegra it should be safe to reapply it.

v2: move assignment outside if clause
