I don't follow why this would cause problems -- you simply wouldn't use
the "amlogic,meson-uart" string for a Meson8b UART because it's not
compatible with the programming model of the other UARTs.

If this is already in a mainline release, we shouldn't be changing the
string unless we're absolutely certain no-one is adversely affected by
the removal. We can deprecate the old string while maintaining
compatibility, however.
There doesn't seem to be a binding document. Please could you add one?
Thanks,
Mark.
