It's a bit unusual to have a serial2 uart when there is no serial0 or serial1.
Most boards that only have a single uart label it either '0' or '1'.

Use 'stdout-path' to pick the console device here, not the argument
string.

That's fine then. The memory node has to be at the root of the DT, not in a
child node. It's just that most SoCs have the memory in a separate chip
on the board, rather than inside of the SoC itself, so it would be part
of the board file. If the gxp package includes the memory and it's not
an option for the board design, you can leave it in the .dtsi file.
