Subject: [PATCH 5.6 160/167] Revert "serial: uartps: Do not allow use aliases >= MAX_UART_INSTANCES"

From: Michal Simek <michal.simek@...inx.com>

commit 91c9dfa25c7f95b543c280e0edf1fd8de6e90985 upstream.

This reverts commit 2088cfd882d0403609bdf426e9b24372fe1b8337.

As Johan says, this driver needs a lot more work and these changes are
only going in the wrong direction:
