Please make your subject prefixes consistent and drop "DOCUMENTATION".

Why not put f4 in the compatible string. stm32 is too generic.

What determines sync mode or not? If it is IP configuration fixed in the 
design, then this is fine. If it is user choice or board dependent, then 
use a separate property.

What are valid combinations? usart is sync only, not sync and async?
