[PATCH 2/2 v2] [POWERPC] Ignore disabled serial ports

[Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Some SoC chips have multiple serial ports on board.  The usability of these
ports can rely on various factors, ranging from pin sharing to unpopulated
connectors.  This checks for a status property in the serial node and ignores
the port if it is set to "disabled".
