+Qualcomm Technologies Inc. GENI based Serial UART Controller driver
+
+This serial UART driver supports console use-cases. This driver is meant
+only for Generic Interface (GENI) based Qualcomm Universal Peripheral
(QUP)
+cores and isn't backwards compatible.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should contain "qcom,geni-uart, qcom,geni-console"


Is console different programming model or just how you are using the
h/w? for the latter, drop it as we have stdout-path to select a console.

The console programming model is different from a regular UART port and
hence the compatible field contains console in it.

And "console" is what the h/w reference manual calls it? If so, then
it is fine. If not, sounds like a Linuxism.
The hardware reference manual calls it Debug UART. I can change the
compatible string to contain "qcom,geni-debug-uart".
