If the answer is nothing (likely, as it was > broken and nobody seems to have noticed), just remove the whole thing. I have used ar9132_tl_wr1043nd_v1.dts as a template for AR9331-based board dts-file. AR9331 uses it's own very special UART implementation (the ar933x_uart.c driver is used). ar933x_uart.c relies on alias and does not work if alias is not set. I have not yet runned linux on TL-WR1034ND, but I suppose that uart alias is not actually used for TL-WR1034ND and this aliases node can be safely removed.
