Subject: [PATCH] serial: of-serial: Remove device_type = "serial" registration

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN probe will fail anyway.
