Re: [PATCH v3] serial: uartlite: Move out-of-range port-numbers into ULITE_NR_UARTS range

Find free uart_port struct in range 0 <= id < ULITE_NR_UARTS when
the device tree port-number property is outside that range. This
happens when there are other UART types in the system because the
Xilinx device tree generator numbers all UARTs consecutively;
as a result, not as many Uartlites as specified by the
SERIAL_UARTLITE_NR_UARTS parameter could be successfully added.

Ick.  Please just remove that build option entirely, this should just
dynamically allocate new devices based on what is in the system.

The driver should not care at build time about this.

thanks,
