I'm hitting the same issue for IP22, my dirty hack to get serial console
back is

diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/serial_base_bus.c b/drivers/tty/serial/serial_base_bus.c
index 5d1677f1b651..fccb0f1c3cc5 100644

 	if (type == &serial_ctrl_type)
 		return dev_set_name(dev, "%s:%d", dev_name(port->dev), ctrl_id);

 		return dev_set_name(dev, "%s:%d.%d", dev_name(port->dev),

 	return -EINVAL;
 }

I'm not sure, if port->dev needs to be populated now for every serial
port or if there should be a check for port->dev == NULL in the code above...
