Actually, yes, discussion has settled, agreeing that phandle reference
for the uart is a bad idea, Nikolaus just refuses to listen to anyone,
asking "device tree maintainer opinion", and then just simply ignoring
it when he does not like it, and then making promises he did not keep.

Please don't stall patches just because of that.

Best regards,
Pavel
