[PATCH] dm: uclass: don't assign aliased seq numbers

If there are aliases for an uclass, set the base for the "dynamically"
allocated numbers next to the highest alias.

Please note, that this might lead to holes in the sequences, depending
on the device tree. For example if there is only an alias "ethernet1",
the next device seq number would be 2.

In particular this fixes a problem with boards which are using ethernet
aliases but also might have network add-in cards like the E1000. If the
board is started with the add-in card and depending on the order of the
drivers, the E1000 might occupy the first ethernet device and mess up
all the hardware addresses, because the devices are now shifted by one.

As a side effect, this should also make the following commits
superfluous:
 - 7f3289bf6d ("dm: device: Request next sequence number")
 - 61607225d1 ("i2c: Fill req_seq in i2c_post_bind()")
   Although I don't understand the root cause of the said problem.

Thomas, Michal, could you please test this and then I'd add a second
patch removing the old code.
