Okay, no problem. I'll rename the nodes in the next patch series
version.

That's a good question. The Amlogic custom kernel DTSI declares
bias-pull-down for CTS/RTS pins in UART_A. There is no information about
this in the A1 datasheet. However, from my understanding, it is related
to the usage of the UART_A. Typically, the UART_A endpoint on A1 boards
is used for BT connections, which is why Amlogic applies bias-pull-down
in the common DTSI. If my assumption is correct, it would be better to
move the bias-pull-down node parameter to the custom board DTS. I will
investigate this further and rework it in the next version if necessary.
