The default name for a uart is "serial", I would recommend sticking to
that by convention. You may also want to add an "aliases" node
somewhere, to define which port should get which logical device number
on a given board.

Switched to "...-serial".

I actually meant the name, not the "compatible" value. For compatible, either
version is fine with me. What I think you should change though is renaming
"sci at e6c40000" to "serial at e6c40000".

About the aliases: Would I need to add that now, or can we postpone that?

No hurry for that. It's just a feature that comes in very handy, but not
all platforms implement it.
