The number of UARTs is defined in the kernel configuration:

CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=5
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=5

See also:

drivers/tty/serial/8250/Kconfig
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c

I imagine that the CI20's configuration has five UARTs and that the LX16 
configuration needs to be changed to only define four. Yes, the device tree 
should arguably control all of this instead.
