[PATCH] ppc32/serial: Change mpc52xx_uart.c to use the Low Density Serial port major
Before this patch we were just using the "classic" /dev/ttySx devices.
However when another on the system is loaded that uses those (like drivers for
serial PCMCIA), that creates a conflict for the minors. Therefore, we now use
/dev/ttyPSC[0:5] (note the 0-based numbering !) with some minors we've been
assigned in the "Low Density Serial port major"
