Update the Device Tree binding documentation for the Marvell EBU UART,
in order to allow describing the extended UART IP block, in addition to
the already supported standard UART IP. This requires adding a new
compatible string, the introduction of a clocks property, and extensions
to the interrupts property.

What do you call the next extended version? marvell,armada-3700-uart-ext-ext?

This is different versions of UART on the same chip?

How is this optional? The freq is fixed if not present? If so, what 
frequency?

I don't know what you mean by "next extended version"?

Today in mainline there is support for the A3700 UART IP.
This series add support for another IP, based on the A3700, but with
extended features (explaining the -ext suffix).

Can you precise what is bothering you?

The "clocks" property should not be optional at all but that is how the
bindings were handled before this series, so I can't tell now that
this property is mandatory as it would break compatibility with older
versions of the driver.

When no clock is provided, the frequency is fixed by the bootloader
and cannot be changed. There is no standard frequency for it but the
one chosen by the bootloader often is 115200 as the UART is usually
used as the serial console.

Because the bootloader does only initialize the UART in use for the
serial console, the clock is mandatory when using another port or it
will not work at all.

IP evolves on new chips with new features. Just trying to understand
how you are

Is this different versions of UART IP on 1 chip or a new version of
the UART IP on a new SoC? The latter should be a new compatible with
the new SoC. The former case does happen some, but is not common. I'm
just trying to understand which applies here.

Okay. I think it should be mandatory with a note how missing property
is handled.

I think I misunderstood your initial question.

Indeed you are right, I did not think about the naming of a potential
next extended version of the extended IP, but I don't know how to
rename it otherwise than "-ext" to best fit what the "new" IP
does.

Actually, both IP are available since the first version of the
Armada 3700 SoCs. There is no other implementation of these IPs yet. I
think we fall in the former case.
