[PATCH] serial: core: Add support for dev_name:0.0 naming for kernel console

With the serial core controller related changes we can now start
addressing serial ports with dev_name:0.0 naming. The names are something
like 00:04.0:0.0 on qemu, and 2800000.serial.0:0.0 on ARM for example.

The dev_name is unique serial port hardware controller device name, also
known as port->dev, and 0.0 are the serial core controller id and port id.

Typically 0.0 are used for each controller and port instance unless the
serial port hardware controller has multiple controllers or ports.
