Subject: [PATCH 5.2 068/215] serial: uartps: Use the same dynamic major number for all ports

[ Upstream commit ab262666018de6f4e206b021386b93ed0c164316 ]

Let kernel to find out major number dynamically for the first device and
then reuse it for other instances.
This fixes the issue that each uart is registered with a
different major number.

After the patch:
crw-------    1 root     root      253,   0 Jun 10 08:31 /dev/ttyPS0
crw--w----    1 root     root      253,   1 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ttyPS1

Fixes: 024ca329bfb9 ("serial: uartps: Register own uart console and driver structures")
