Hello Lucas,

Thank you for the patch! Please find my small comment below.

I suppose you need to add a separate meson_t7_uart_data to switch the T7
UART to a regular TTY devname 'ttyS'. For the new Amlogic SoCs, we have
agreed to use 'ttyS' instead of 'ttyAML'. Please refer to the already
applied patch series at [1] and the IRC discussion at [2].
