Ok, I thought it could be handy to have the uart enabled by default to avoid 
mixing with the status property, I don't mind setting it to "disabled" by 
default.

In fact, MCS8140 only supports 8-bit CFI Flash chips, so this really is the 
common point of all MCS8140-based boards. As you can see in the following 
board-specific DTS patches, only the partition layout is different.

The memory node is also overridden by the board-specific DTS files in subsequent 
patches.

Allright.
