+* UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : one of:
+ - "ns8250"
+ - "ns16450"
+ - "ns16550a"
+ - "ns16550"
+ - "ns16750"
+ - "ns16850"
+ - "nvidia,tegra250-uart"
+ - "ibm,qpace-nwp-serial"
+ - "serial" if the port type is unknown.
+- reg : offset and length of the register set for the device.
+- interrupts : should contain uart interrupt.
+- clock-frequency : the input clock frequency for the UART.
+
+Optional properties:
+- current-speed : the current active speed of the UART.
+- reg-offset : offset to apply to the mapbase from the start of the registers.
+- reg-shift : quantity to shift the register offsets by.
+- used-by-rtas : set to indicate that the port is in use by the OpenFirmware
+ RTAS and should not be registered.
+
+Example:
+
+ uart@80230000 {
+ compatible = "ns8250";
+ reg = <0x80230000 0x100>;
+ clock-frequency = <3686400>;
+ interrupts = <10>;
+ reg-shift = <2>;
+ };
