+* Atmel Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "atmel,<chip>-usart" or "atmel,<chip>-dbgu"
+ The compatible <chip> indicated will be the first SoC to support an
+ additional mode or an USART new feature.
+ For the dbgu UART, use "atmel,<chip>-dbgu", "atmel,<chip>-usart"
+- reg: Should contain registers location and length
+- interrupts: Should contain interrupt
+- clock-names: tuple listing input clock names.
+ Required elements: "usart"
+- clocks: phandles to input clocks.
+
+Optional properties:
+- atmel,use-dma-rx: use of PDC or DMA for receiving data
+- atmel,use-dma-tx: use of PDC or DMA for transmitting data
+- {rts,cts,dtr,dsr,rng,dcd}-gpios: specify a GPIO for RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR/RI/DCD line respectively.
+ It will use specified PIO instead of the peripheral function pin for the USART feature.
+ If unsure, don't specify this property.
+- add dma bindings for dma transfer:
+ - dmas: DMA specifier, consisting of a phandle to DMA controller node,
+ memory peripheral interface and USART DMA channel ID, FIFO configuration.
+ Refer to dma.txt and atmel-dma.txt for details.
+ - dma-names: "rx" for RX channel, "tx" for TX channel.
+- atmel,fifo-size: maximum number of data the RX and TX FIFOs can store for FIFO
+ capable USARTs.
+- rs485-rts-delay, rs485-rx-during-tx, linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time: see rs485.txt
