IMO, we should keep both compatibles (the more specific one first.)
That would allow new DTs to continue to run on older kernels.

It would also allow this DT change to be completely independent of the
driver changes.  Otherwise, if I merge this before the driver change are
merged, we'll have a bunch of boards with no more serial console output.
