Yes this new driver is flexible and multi instance
yes I'm working a new path to add the PL010 on it too
and one of the issue of the current one is that you can not calculate the
baudrate based on the uart base clock on contrary on the new one who use the
clk framework. So yes I plan to add the PL010 on it too but after I've put the
clock framework on the sock that use it and drop the old one
