you right here, it's a question related to pinctrl subsystem.
from my point of view, it's even weird from the hardware perspective:
that, the UART function of AO domain route the pin of EE domain..

Current there is a conflict in the code level which both two pinctrl
tree (EE, AO) are using the same macro[1] to expand the definitions, so
there would be conflict symbol if we name both as 'uart_ao_b'
I think your idea of having an uniform function 'uart_ao_b' for both
pinctrl subsystem is actually possible/positive..
I will think about your suggestion and come up with a patch later,
thanks a lot!
