Add ACPI support for serial attached devices.

Currently, serial devices are not set as enumerated during ACPI scan for SPI
or i2c buses (but not for UART). This should also be done for UART serial
devices.
I renamed *spi_i2c_slave* to *serial_bus_slave* to reflect this.

This needs Johan Hovold's "serdev: fix registration of second slave" patch.

In theory this series could go in through the acpi-tree without my
fix. It would only affect an error case where an unlikely failure to
register an ACPI serdev device, would prevent the tty-class device from
being registered instead of the controller. That is, something we can
live with until this all converges in 4.15-rc1 if needed.

That said, I think we should consider taking all serdev changes, and
therefore also the ACPI patch, through the tty tree instead in order to
avoid merge conflicts. Rafael?
