Well, for "mrvl,mmp-uart", there are three: SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM,
SERIAL_8250_PXA and SERIAL_PXA:

  drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_of.c:      { .compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart",
  drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pxa.c:     { .compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart", },
  drivers/tty/serial/pxa.c:       { .compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart", },

For that matter, the hardware is also compatible with intel,xscale-uart
and the mrvl,mmp-uart compatible string is perhaps entirely unnecessary.

I guess the story is somewhat similar for mrvl,pxa-uart; I can not
verify though.

I suppose SERIAL_PXA is not really needed at this point and if support
for mrvl,pxa-uart was added to SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM, then SERIAL_8250_PXA
would only be useful for platforms that don't use DT and the DT bits
could be stripped from it eventually. That is -- if PXA maintainers
agree, of course.
