R: Serial console on board based on Lite5200b

[Angelo]

Ok i solved my problems, but ...

The file /driver/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c in function mpc52xx_uart_of_enumerate(void) try to keep find the device number with:
...
/* Is a particular device number requested? */
devno = get_property(np, "port-number", NULL);
...

I set the device tree in order to use PSC4 in uart mode enabling:
serial at 2600 {	// PSC4
	device_type = "serial";
	compatible = "mpc5200b-psc-uart\0mpc5200-psc-uart";
	port-number = <3>; // Logical port assignment			
	cell-index = <3>;
	reg = <2600 100>;
	interrupts = <2 b 0>;
	interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
};

But port-number = <3> seems less!
Any idea??
