Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 2/2] drivers: serial: probe all uart devices

U-Boot DM model probe only single device at a time which is enabled
and configured using device tree or platform data method.
PL011 UART IP is SBSA compliant and firmware does the serial port
set-up, initialization and let the kernel use UART port for sending
and receiving characters.
Normally software talk to one serial port time but some LayerScape
platform require all the UART devices enabled in Linux for various use
case.
Adding support to probe all enabled serial devices like SBSA compliant
PL011 UART ports probe and initialization by firmware.

v3:
Incorporated Simon and Stephan review comment
- Define generic function uclass_probe_all(enum uclass_id)
in drivers/core/uclass.c
- Added the function in caller of serial_find_console_or_panic()
- Removed repeated sequence with generic function call uclass_probe_all()
- Dependent on other patch [PATCH] dm: core: add function
uclass_probe_all()
to probe all devices
v2:
Incorporated Stefan review comment, Update #ifdef with macro
if (IS_ENABLED)..

Note that you will also need to check the return value here. E.g.
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SERIAL_PROBE_ALL))
int ret = uclass_probe_all(UCLASS_SERIAL);
if (ret)
return ret;
return serial_init();
}
