Controller and client (Client?) sound conflicting. What is this client
of?

So is this client or the controller?

Drop, not needed. But you miss proper $ref, see other bindings.

Drop redundant parts, so just "TX region".

Drop

Drop. Please take a look at other bindings how they do things. There is
no such code anywhere in the kernel.

Drop "This property specifies the". Do not say what Devicetree syntax
is. We all know. This is a description of hardware, not the DTS langauge.

Title says this is a client, so quite confusing. Anyway, why is this
board specific?

Also, missing constraints, missing units. Why common serial properties
are not applicable?

Best regards,
