* Atmel Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)
Required properties:
- compatible: Should be "atmel,<chip>-usart"
The compatible <chip> indicated will be the first SoC to support an
additional mode or an USART new feature.
- reg: Should contain registers location and length
- interrupts: Should contain interrupt
- clock-names: tuple listing input clock names.
Required elements: "usart"
- clocks: phandles to input clocks.
Optional properties:
- atmel,use-dma-rx: use of PDC or DMA for receiving data
- atmel,use-dma-tx: use of PDC or DMA for transmitting data
- rts-gpios: specify a GPIO for RTS line. It will use specified PIO instead of the peripheral
function pin for the USART RTS feature. If unsure, don't specify this property.
- add dma bindings for dma transfer:
- dmas: DMA specifier, consisting of a phandle to DMA controller node,
memory peripheral interface and USART DMA channel ID, FIFO configuration.
Refer to dma.txt and atmel-dma.txt for details.
- dma-names: "rx" for RX channel, "tx" for TX channel.

Example:
- use PDC:
usart0: serial@fff8c000 {
compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>;
interrupts = <7>;
clocks = <&usart0_clk>;
clock-names = "usart";
atmel,use-dma-rx;
atmel,use-dma-tx;
rts-gpios = <&pioD 15 0>;
};
- use DMA:
usart0: serial@f001c000 {
compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
reg = <0xf001c000 0x100>;
interrupts = <12 4 5>;
clocks = <&usart0_clk>;
clock-names = "usart";
atmel,use-dma-rx;
atmel,use-dma-tx;
dmas = <&dma0 2 0x3>,
<&dma0 2 0x204>;
dma-names = "tx", "rx";
};
