We are missing the serial core controller id for the serial core port
name. Let's fix the issue for sane sysfs output, and to avoid issues
addressing serial ports later on.

And as we're now showing the controller id, the "ctrl" and "port" prefix
for the DEVNAME become useless, we can just drop them. Let's standardize on
DEVNAME:0 for controller name, where 0 is the controller id. And
DEVNAME:0.0 for port name, where 0.0 are the controller id and port id.

This makes the sysfs output nicer, on qemu for example:

$ ls /sys/bus/serial-base/devices
00:04:0         serial8250:0    serial8250:0.2
00:04:0.0       serial8250:0.1  serial8250:0.3

This patch causes about 50% of my boot tests to fail because the console
is no longer recognized. Reverting this patch fixes the problem.
Bisect log attached.

Isn't fix already available?

Yes, hopefully that should fix it. We'll see tonight, when my test bed builds it again.
