USB: serial: increase the number of devices we support
We had the limit of 255 USB to serial devices on one system for almost 15 years, with no complaints. But now it's time to move on from these tiny "baby" systems, and bump the number up to 512, which should last us a few more years: "512 is a nice number" -- Tobias Winter Note, this is still a static value, and uses up tty core memory with this many tty devices allocated. Converting the driver to use TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV is the next thing to do in order to remove this limitation.
