I'm not sure I'm following here. You generally want to either make
sure the alias matches whatever number is printed on the product
if there are multiple numbered ports, or you just use 'serial0'
as the only alias if there is only one port.

Either way, the alias should go into the board specific file, not
the general SoC file, as a board might be using a different
set of UARTs.

Since you know the addresses of the other uart instances, I would
suggest you add all of them at the same time.
