of: Output devicetree alias names in uevent
In some situations, userspace may want to resolve a device by function and logical number (ie, "serial0") rather than by the base address or full device path. Being able to resolve a device by alias frees userspace from the burden of otherwise having to maintain a mapping between device addresses and their logical assignments on each platform when multiple instances of the same hardware block are present in the system. Although the uevent device attribute contains devicetree compatible information and the full device path, the uevent does not list the alises that may have been defined for the device.
