Replace deprecated DEFINE_IDR and idr_* functions with the modern DEFINE_XARRAY_ALLOC and xa_* equivalents in the greybus uart driver.

What tool is causing people to want to do this change that I keep rejecting? Can you please go and fix it?

It's checkpatch:

WARNING: Deprecated use of 'DEFINE_IDR', prefer 'DEFINE_XARRAY' instead #70: FILE: drivers/staging/greybus/uart.c:70: +static DEFINE_IDR(tty_minors);
