[U-Boot] [PATCH] sunxi: Fix wrong serial console setup in Forfun Q88DB tablet

The Forfun Q88DB tablet was unbootable since commit
b6006baf9c2553543e3384983d23d95efbf24fa6 ("sunxi: Move all
boards to the driver-model"). Appears that this is caused
by the wrong serial console setup in the SPL. The serial
console should use PG3/PG4 pins according to the FEX file.

While this should be a correct fix, the reason why the tablet failed
to boot is a bit unclear. Without the correct CONS_INDEX setup, we
should just get the serial console routed to the nonexisting pins
B19/B20, and this is expected to be harmless. Maybe the DM code
in the main U-Boot binary can't initialize serial console properly
if we have a mismatch between the settings in the dts file and the
CONS_INDEX settings in the SPL?
