Fix the compatible for the UART to make it consistent with the other
compatibles for Meson6 and Meson8 and to avoid problems when the
meson8b will be introduced with a different UART driver.

I don't follow why this would cause problems -- you simply wouldn't use
the "amlogic,meson-uart" string for a Meson8b UART because it's not
compatible with the programming model of the other UARTs.

If this is already in a mainline release, we shouldn't be changing the
string unless we're absolutely certain no-one is adversely affected by
the removal. We can deprecate the old string while maintaining
compatibility, however.

There doesn't seem to be a binding document. Please could you add one?

Thanks,
Mark.

I know it isn't really a _real_ problem. I just want to avoid any
confusion in the future and I'm pretty sure that changing it at this
stage of development doesn't cause any trouble (I wouldn't have asked
otherwise).

I doubt anybody else is using mainline kernel on Meson SoCs but me and
Beniamino. IMO better change it now that the development is at an
early stage.

Right. Actually the documentation[1] was submitted together with the
driver but it seems that it was lost during mainlining
