serial: vt8500: Find console ports in the serial core state
This commit removes the driver's vt8500_uart_ports[] array and looks up
the console port via vt8500_uart_driver.state[co->index].uart_port in
vt8500_console_write() and vt8500_console_setup().

[Severity: Low]
Should vt8500_console_write() and vt8500_console_setup() reach into
vt8500_uart_driver.state directly?
include/linux/serial_core.h:struct uart_driver {
...
/*
* these are private; the low level driver should not
* touch these; they should be initialised to NULL
*/
struct uart_state *state;
struct tty_driver *tty_driver;
};
struct uart_driver::state is marked private to the serial core and not
meant to be accessed directly by low-level UART drivers.
