During a IRC discussion with Neil, as reported in reference [1], an idea
emerged to provide support for a standard devname 'ttyS' in new SoCs
such as A1, S4, T7, C3 and others. The current devname 'ttyAML' is not
widely known and has caused several issues with both low and high-level
software, without any apparent justification for its implementation.
Consequently, it has been deemed necessary to introduce the 'ttyS'
devname for all new 'compatible' entries, while still retaining backward
compatibility with the old 'ttyAML' devname by supporting it in parallel
with the new approach. This patch series therefore aims to implement
these changes.

Changes v2 since v1 at [2]:
    - as suggested by Conor, relocate modifications with the new
      uart_data structures of S4 and A1 SoC from the main meson_uart
      patchset to a separate patchsets
    - ensure that the uart_driver is not unregistered if there is at
      least one active port
    - per Neil's suggestion declare separate uart_driver and console
      objects for both tty devnames (ttyAML and ttyS) to enable the use
      of multiple uart objects with different compatibility strings
