Find free uart_port struct in range 0 <= id < ULITE_NR_UARTS when
the device tree port-number property is outside that range. This
can happen because the Xilinx device tree generator does not start
enumerating Uartlites at 0 when there are PS-UARTs or AXI 16550A
UARTs in the system; it then enumerates all UARTs consecutively
despite them having separate drivers with separate structures.
This has become more problematic since the Kconfig property
SERIAL_UARTLITE_NR_UARTS enables precise allocation of uart_port
structs, which can't be used if the port-number doesn't start at 0

Don't you want to also inform user about it? They can expect that serial10 is going to be ttyUL10 but if ULITE_NR_UARTS is less you will get different number and user will have no idea why.

Thanks,
