I would expect simple-bus schema warning or W=1, because node is placed
outside of soc@, but maybe there is no such.

Comments are placed in very specific and intentional place. Please read
guides how mailing list in-line review works before posting patches.

Add complete working serial. Why can't you use fixed placeholder clock?
There are probably multiple ways to solve it, not necessary
clock-frequency and I do not even remember if clock-frequency is allowed.

But if you cannot bring serial, then my comment stays valid: this is
unusable upstream thus is not ready to be posted and merged.
