drivers: serial: probe all uart devices

U-Boot DM model probe only single device at a time
which is enabled and configured using device tree
or platform data method.

PL011 UART IP is SBSA compliant and firmware does the
serial port set-up, initialization and let the kernel use
UART port for sending and receiving characters.

Normally software talk to one serial port time but some
LayerScape platform require all the UART devices enabled
in Linux for various use case.

Adding support to probe all enabled serial devices like SBSA
compliant PL011 UART ports probe and initialization by firmware.

The serial subsystem only probes for a single serial device,
but does not probe for other remaining serial devices.
With this option set, we make probing and searching for
all available devices optional.
Normally, U-Boot talks to one serial port at a time, but SBSA
compliant UART devices like PL011 require initialization
by firmware and to let the kernel use serial port for sending
and receiving the characters.
