The v3.8.x tree is still /dev/ttyOx ;)

I was going to phase it in on mainline, but then ti made the switch on
their v3.14.x-ti tree...

So we bit the bullet.

For systemd users, systemd fixed it up on boot..

For udev users, we now having working /dev/ttySx -> /dev/ttyOx rule...

For everything else... We i didn't test.. ;)

If it's any consolation, i did yell at the developers on linux-omap,
how "fxxxd" up this was, specially since i was here during the ttyS ->
ttyO mess.

But i think we are now ready in 26-ish+ kernel releases to move back
to ttyO... ;)
