  Revert "uart: pl011: Rename regs with enumeration" (2015-09-04 09:14:43 -0700)

TTY driver revert for 4.3-rc1

Here are some reverts for some tty patches (specifically the pl011
driver) that ended up breaking a bunch of machines (i.e. almost all of
the ones with this chip.)  People are working on a fix for this, but in
the meantime, it's best to just revert all 5 patches to restore people's
serial consoles.

These reverts have been in linux-next for many days now.
