serial port nodes with the property status="disabled" are not usable and so
avoid adding "disabled" port with the system.

 Based upon git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git(branch master)
 
 This patch is made to support "Re-organizing P1020RDB P2020RDB dts". Creation
 of Serial port node doesn't follow of_platform_device_create() way which takes
 care case status = "disabled".
