    dt-uart: use ':' as separator between path and options
    
    ',' is a valid character in a device-tree path (see ePAPR v1.1 Table
    2-1), in fact ',' is actually pretty common in node names.
    
    Using ',' as a separator breaks for example on fast models. If you use
    the full path (/smb/motherboard/iofpga@3,00000000/uart@090000) rather
    than the alias then earlyprintk gives:
    
    (XEN) Looking for UART console /smb/motherboard/iofpga@3
    (XEN) Unable to find device "/smb/motherboard/iofpga@3"
    (XEN) Bad console= option 'dtuart'
    
    I actually noticed this on Jetson where the uart is
    "/serial@0,70006300" and there happened to be no alias defined.
    
    Instead use ':' as the separator, it is defined to terminate the path
    in the context of /chosen/stdout-path (Table 3-4) which is pretty
    closely analogous to the dtuart= option and so makes a pretty good
    choice (especially since the next patch adds support for stdout-path).
    
    Since no DT aware driver current supports any options there is no
    point in retaining support for ',' for backwards compatibility.
    
    Additionally, expand the buffer for the dtuart option, a path can be
    far longer than 30 characters (in fact the maximum size of a single
    node name is 31, so it's not even necessarily enough for an alias).
    128 is completely arbitrary and allows for paths at least 8 deep even
    with worst case node names.
