[PATCH v2] uartlite: Update the default for the SERIAL_UARTLITE_NR_UARTS

From: Shubhrajyoti Datta <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-17 05:16:43
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

The commit b44b96a060f3((uartlite: Adding a kernel parameter for the number of uartlites)
states 
"The uartlite is used by FPGAs that support a basically unlimited number
of uarts so limiting it at 16 dosn't make sense as users might need more
than that."
the commit also said that number should be unlimited. However it set the
default to 1 instead of 16.The original 16 written in driver should be
 quite reasonable default to cover most of the cases.

So change the default number of uarts back to 16.
