ppc32/serial: Change mpc52xx_uart.c to use the Low Density Serial port major

Before this patch we were just using the "classic" /dev/ttySx devices.
However when another on the system is loaded that uses those (like drivers
for serial PCMCIA), that creates a conflict for the minors. Therefore, we
now use /dev/ttyPSC[0:5] (note the 0-based numbering !) with some minors
we've been assigned in the "Low Density Serial port major"
