I must admit, i did not look at the datasheet for XP. So you can
ignore XP.

Looks good.

That is too many configurations. So lets leave it per board.

Actually, i think it can. But i could be wrong.

armada-370-xp.dtsi declares uart0 and uart1.  armada-xp.dtsi then
defined another two uart's, uart2 and uart3. You should be able to
define the pinctrl nodes for the serial ports there, even if the main
pinctrl node is in the SoC specific .dtsi file.
