Subject: Revert "tty/8250_pnp: serial port detection regression since v3.7"

From: Sean Young <[email protected]>

commit c12f9ea28e9fbe7b1f4cefc953bee33298370683 upstream.

This reverts commit 77e372a3d82e5e4878ce1962207edd766773cc76.

Checking for disabled resources board breaks detection pnp on another
board "AMI UEFI implementation (Version: 0406 Release Date: 06/06/2012)".
I'm working with the reporter of the original bug to write and test
a better fix.
