The of_serial bindings can be used to register a number of serial
devices.  Document this binding with all of the others.

+* UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : one of:
+       - "ns8250"
+       - "ns16450"
+       - "ns16550a"
+       - "ns16550"
+       - "ns16750"
+       - "ns16850"
+       - "nvidia,tegra250-uart"
+       - "ibm,qpace-nwp-serial"
+       - "serial" if the port type is unknown.
+- reg : offset and length of the register set for the device.
+- interrupts : should contain uart interrupt.
+- clock-frequency : the input clock frequency for the UART.
+
+Optional properties:
+- current-speed : the current active speed of the UART.
+- reg-offset : offset to apply to the mapbase from the start of the registers.
+- reg-shift : quantity to shift the register offsets by.
+- used-by-rtas : set to indicate that the port is in use by the firmware and
+  should not be registered.
+
+Example:
+
+       uart@80230000 {
+               compatible = "ns8250";
+               device-type = "serial";
Drop device-type.  Otherwise looks good.
Although the used-by-rtas description should probably mention
specifically that it is used by OpenFirmware RTAS.
Oh, and device tree documentation changes should cc: the
devicetree-discuss@lists.ozlabs.org mailing list.
