The TI Keystone SoCs have extra UART registers beyond the standard 8250
registers, so we need a new compatible string to indicate this. Also, at
least one of these registers uses the full 32 bits, so we need to specify
reg-io-width in addition to reg-shift.

"ns16550a" is left in the compatible specification since it does work as
long as the bootloader configures the SoC UART power management registers.

NAK!!
We can't break the booting boards with existing boot loaders.
I suggest you to first get the driver updated to take care of
the UART PM register and then enable the support for it.
