Thanks for both your comments, there is my version, inspired from both
comments:

/*
 * Connector J17 exposes a number of different features. Some pins are
 * multiplexed. This is the case for the UART1 feature (pins 24 = RX,
 * pins 26 = TX). See armada-3720-db.dts for an example of how to enable it.
 * Beware that the signals are 1.8V TTL.
 */

Thanks,
Miquèl
