One issue with this comment (and Miquèl's version as well) is that it
does not explain why you don't enable this UART by default.

The real reason is in the commit log from Miquèl, and should probably
be part of the comment. Perhaps something like:

/*

 * Connector J17 (pins X, Y, Z) exposes a number of different
 * features:
 *  - UART1 (pins 24 = RX, pins 26 = TX), see armada-3720-db.dts for an
 *    example on how to enable UART1. Beware that the signals are 1.8V
 *    TTL.
 *  - SPIxyz
 *  - I2Cxyz
 */

Otherwise, it's not clear at all why you don't just enable UART1. Or
perhaps I misunderstood Miquèl's commit log ?

Best regards,

Thomas
