Well this paragraph somehow puzzled me and made me think that you only
have to keep the serial port as "disabled" in the DT to achieve what you
had had in mind.

Yes, here I understand better. Your use case is somewhat uncommon as
your SoC pads can be configured for two different uses with two
different drivers in front of your hardware device...

Well, okay. As the modification is not that big and that the solution is
pretty elegant, I'll take it.

The 2 modifications above are not related to the patch: keep them like
they were event if it's not as pretty as you would like...
