Max Filippov c7c5be5862 serial: add PORT_GENERIC definition
Current pattern in the linux kernel is that every new serial driver adds
one or more new PORT_ definitions because uart_ops::config_port()
callback documentation prescribes setting port->type according to the
type of port found, or to PORT_UNKNOWN if no port was detected.

When the specific type of the port is not important to the userspace
there's no need for a unique PORT_ value, but so far there's no suitable
identifier for that case.

Provide generic port type identifier other than PORT_UNKNOWN for ports
which type is not important to userspace.
