If you drop the "amlogic,meson-s4-uart" from here it will break
backwards compatibility, because the binding permits
"amlogic,meson-s4-uart" in isolation. Please do not make that change.

When you introduce the new compatible for the t7, it can fall back to
the s4 (or g12a), doesn't really matter, but the existing one for the s4
should not be touched.

Cheers,
Conor.
