I think from the driver perspective, you want this to be a tty line
discipline rather than a driver that attaches to the physical
uart.
For the DT representation, I fear we haven't got a precedent. A uart
phandle sounds reasonable, but there might be other ways to do it
and we should consider if there are better alternatives. It could
possibly be a child node of the uart, but that would require other
infrastructure in the kernel because we don't currently create
devices for those.
