Wait, what? A patch (5225e1b87432 ("ARM: dts: meson: Fix the UART
compatible strings")) that was merged for v5.17-rc4 and is not in the
list of patches that were in 4.14.312-rc1
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230403140351.636471867@linuxfoundation.org/
) is meant to suddenly cause this? How is this possible? Am I totally on
the wrong track here and misunderstanding something, or is this a
bisection that went horribly sideways?

Ciao, Thorsten
