Several Toradex modules assign one UART to firmware running on their
Cortex-M core: Verdin UART_4 on Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus
and Verdin iMX95, Aquila UART_4 on Aquila iMX95 and SER0 on Toradex
SMARC iMX95. The overlays reserving it only differ in the UART
instance.

Label that UART uart_mcu in each module device tree and share one
overlay, imx-tdx-uart-mcu.dtso, which reserves the labelled UART. The
merged Verdin iMX8M Mini overlay becomes the shared one, and the
combined Verdin iMX8M Mini DTB keeps its name. NXP's imx9-mqs.dtso
uses the same pattern with its mqs1_conflict_dev board label.

The overlays mark the port as reserved so Linux does not claim it.
Firmware remains responsible for configuring the UART and its pads.

Changes in v2:
- Share one overlay through a uart_mcu label instead of adding
  identical per-module overlays (Frank), and include the merged Verdin
  iMX8M Mini overlay
- Add Verdin iMX8M Plus, previously posted with the Verdin iMX8M OV5640
  series:
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261001-verdin-imx8mp-hmp-camera-ready-v2-2-7d1343ecd3ec@toradex.com
- Drop the Verdin iMX95 NAU8822 BTL patch, now covered by the shared
  NAU8822 BTL series:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261022-imx-nau8822-btl-v2-0-b4221ed43650@toradex.com/
- Rebase onto imx/dt64
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260922-v1-imx95-overlays-v1-0-694100afb4bc@toradex.com

Verdin UART_4 is the UART the module assigns to the Cortex-M4F core.
Other Toradex modules also assign one UART to their Cortex-M core, such
as Verdin and Aquila UART_4 and SMARC SER0 on i.MX95, but on a different
UART instance, so an overlay naming the instance cannot be shared.

Label the UART uart_mcu in the module device tree and turn the Verdin
iMX8M Mini overlay into imx-tdx-uart-mcu.dtso, which reserves the
labelled UART. The combined Verdin iMX8M Mini DTB keeps its name.

Verdin UART_4 can be assigned to Cortex-M7 firmware. Label it uart_mcu
so the shared imx-tdx-uart-mcu overlay can reserve it, and combine the
overlay with the Verdin iMX8M Plus Development Board device tree to
provide a ready-to-use DTB for the non-WiFi SoM variant. UART_4 carries
Bluetooth on WiFi SoMs.

Aquila UART_4 can be assigned to Cortex-M7 firmware. Label it uart_mcu
so the shared imx-tdx-uart-mcu overlay can reserve it, and combine the
overlay with the Aquila iMX95 Development Board device tree to provide
a ready-to-use DTB. Firmware must configure the UART and its pads for
the intended MCU application.

SMARC SER0 can be assigned to Cortex-M7 firmware. Label it uart_mcu so
the shared imx-tdx-uart-mcu overlay can reserve it, and combine the
overlay with the Toradex SMARC iMX95 Development Board device tree to
provide a ready-to-use DTB. On the Development Board this removes the
Linux RS485 port on SER0, while the console on SER1 (LPUART1) remains
available. Firmware must configure the UART and its pads for the
intended MCU application.
