Why not just use the standard 'reg-io-width' property?

What's a platform device? Don't include Linuxisms in your bindings.

First, this is backwards. compatible is most specific to least
specific. In your case Arm is not the vendor and just 'xlnx-uart' is
not very specific. You said this is for Versal SoC, so something like
'xlnx,versal-pl011' would be more appropriate. But again, I think
reg-io-width is all you need here.

The IP is still a Primecell block, so it should have 'arm,primecell'
still as the definition of 'arm,primecell' is that it has the ID
registers. Yes, that means Linux will create an amba_device instead,
but you can't be designing your binding to work-around Linux.
