Yes, we should have some common names.  I didn't like using bare
"plb", because I was worried that, being such a bland generic name,
some other vendor might apply the same name to their own "processor
local bus" which could be something entirely different.  But, if we
have things in the wild that use "plb" and "opb", then I'll change it
over.

That said, this doesn't actually break anything at present.
legacy_serial is not supposed to find any ports on Ebony, and ebony.c
specifies the bus types to be probed for of_platform devices,
including of_serial.
