That's probably my fault, I suggested the g12a in my reply to v3,
because that is the one from which the match data is being copied, so it
seemed like it'd make the most sense to me as the fallback.

btw Neil, is the "meson-gx-uart" a wildcard? Dunno the hardware, so
wasn't sure.

As mentioned on v (N-1), I am fine with this either. You can keep the
Ack Lucas with this change.
