[PATCH 3/4] arm64: dts: freescale: imx95-aquila: Add Cortex-M7 UART_4 overlay

From: Ernest Van Hoecke <ernest.vanhoecke at toradex.com>

Aquila UART_4 can be assigned to Cortex-M7 firmware. Add an overlay
that reserves LPUART2 so Linux does not claim the port. Firmware must
configure the UART and its pads for the intended MCU application.

The overlay is also combined with the Aquila iMX95 Development Board
device tree to provide a ready-to-use DTB.
