which uart.

I dont' see a big distinction at the DTS source level, so your concern is wrt
binary dtbs?

At least in this regard, the alternatives are really differently easy to handle.

And, the alternatives have some influence how a tty driver and a slave device
driver is designed. So that is for me the root question, before discussing (some)
implementation details.

I would expect _no_ impact on the tty driver; have I overlooked something?
