to be precise, I think here should be compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart", "intel,xscale-uart"

but can you check this patch below? it should be ok with your two proposed patches applied

            need to check, from vendor docs, there is a loopback mode
            see 16.2.4.1 SSCR register description, bit12

I have some comments for this patch, and I believe it's a valid fix,
without this patch, K1 will also have problem duo to "UART_CAP_UUE | UART_CAP_RTOIE" lost

do you have any link for this Erratum? let's double check it..
