Now you have 2 nodes at the same address. That's not valid. Please
build your dtbs with 'W=1' which will warn against this. Adding DMA
support should not be a whole new node. Nodes correspond to h/w
blocks, not drivers.

The old node has a reset, you don't need that? Seems strange too that
only 1 uart has a reset.

This is the channel in ast_uart_sdma? Just because you decided not to
do a DMA engine driver, doesn't mean you can't use the DMA binding.
Considering you need to map clients to the provider, use the DMA
binding.
