Hmm the intention was to make it optional so that dts changes aren't
necessary unless you want deterministic numbering. I screwed that up
badly :/ Thanks for finding this.

Greg, can you also apply this patch or squash it into the bad one?

From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>
Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: msm_serial: Don't required DT aliases

If there isn't a DT alias then of_alias_get_id() will return
-ENODEV. This will cause the msm_serial driver to fail probe,
when we want to keep the previous behavior where we generated a
dynamic line number at probe time. Restore this behavior by
generating a dynamic id if the line number is still negative
after checking for an alias or (in the non-DT case) looking at the
.id field of the platform device.

Then this original check for "line < 0" can also be removed.

Well this matches what was there before. It would do atomic_inc_return
if the line was negative and then still check for a negative value. I
don't mind removing it though. Perhaps we should use an ida?

Tested-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org>

I confirm that this patch gets things booting again for the
msm8974/xperia-z1 and the apq8064/ifc6410.
