Subject: [PATCH] of: base: Change logic in of_alias_get_alias_list()

Check compatible string first before setting up bit in bitmap to also
cover cases that allocated bitfield is not big enough.
Show warning about it but let driver to continue to work with allocated
bitfield to keep at least some devices (included console which
is commonly close to serial0) to work.

Fixes: b1078c355d76 ("of: base: Introduce of_alias_get_alias_list() to check alias IDs")
Fixes: ae1cca3fa347 ("serial: uartps: Change uart ID port allocation")

I have looked at it and I don't think there should be necessary to
report error immediately back with partially initialized bitfield.
The reason is that still there could be a console device which is most
likely below that max limit and it is worth to return at least that nbits
properly filled.
It will also enable cases that you can still continue to use aliases
higher then fields prepared for devices without alias.

To be fixed patches are present in tty-next branch.
