Devices ttyCPM* belong to cpm_uart driver. As explained in the comment 
you have modified in UCC uart driver, UCC uart borrows those devices and 
shall not be considered as the reference. But the lines you modify in 
device.txt doesn't mention QE UCC, it mentions CPM SCC and CPM SMC.

CPM uart driver supports up to 6 ports (4 SCC and 2 SMC).

On one of my boards which has a powerpc mpc866 CPU, I have:

[    2.393872] ff000a80.serial: ttyCPM0 at MMIO 0xfff00a80 (irq = 19, 
base_baud = 8250000) is a CPM UART
[    2.411899] ff000a90.serial: ttyCPM1 at MMIO 0xfff00a90 (irq = 20, 
base_baud = 8250000) is a CPM UART
[    2.430352] ff000a00.serial: ttyCPM2 at MMIO 0xfff00a00 (irq = 30,

[    2.448944] ff000a20.serial: ttyCPM3 at MMIO 0xfff00a20 (irq = 29,

[    2.467435] ff000a40.serial: ttyCPM4 at MMIO 0xfff00a40 (irq = 28,

[    2.485924] ff000a60.serial: ttyCPM5 at MMIO 0xfff00a60 (irq = 27, 
base_baud = 8250000) is a CPM UART
