We already allocate CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS, but only allow using
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS uarts unless nr_uarts module params
is set. This causes issues for using distro kernels on SoCs with a
large number of serial ports.
Let's allow up to CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS instead. To do this, we init
the ports as needed if the initial uarts was too low. This way there's no
need to set the value for CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS to some SoC
specific higher value. Typically the default value of 4 can be used as
set for legacy reasons.
Note that limiting the number of intial uarts still works as before
unless a serial console on a higher port is specified. In this case we
will increase the nr_ports up to the console port specified.
