This doesn't make sense - this enum should be a const.
I don't really understand the idea behind of the original binding here that
allowed:
"microchip,sam9x60-dbgu", "microchip,sam9x60-usart", "atmel,at91sam9260-dbgu", "atmel,at91sam9260-usart"

Specifically, I don't get the purpose of the "microchip,sam9x60-usart".
Either make it
      - items:
          - enum:
              - microchip,sam9x60-dbgu
              - microchip,sam9x7-dbgu
          - const: microchip,sam9x60-usart
          - const: atmel,at91sam9260-dbgu
          - const: atmel,at91sam9260-usart
or add
      - items:
          - const: microchip,sam9x60-dbgu
          - const: atmel,at91sam9260-dbgu
          - const: atmel,at91sam9260-usart
or explain exactly why this needs to be
"chipa-dgbu", "chipa-usart", "chipb-dbgu", "chipb-dbgu"

Thanks,
Conor.
