As port usages is board specific, shouldn't this be moved to the board
.dts file, with only serial0 = &scif2 ?

Nope, the intention of these aliases is to have a consistent numbering
of SCIF cores, similar to platform.dev_id.

But do we want that ? Isn't it better from a user point of view to have ttySC0 
regardless of whether scif2 or scif3 is used when the board has a single 
serial port only ?

Some prefer this, some that. The current standard pattern is what I implemented.
I think consistency makes sense for my series. If you like to prefer another
pattern, please start a discussion at the devicetree list.
