I would like to get some help on how to tackle this particular device 
since I cannot seem to find anything similar to this setup. First let me 
go over the setup.

The BeaglePlay board has 2 processors. AM625 processor which is the main 
processor. This runs the main Linux system. This processor does not have 
direct access to SubG.

It also contains a CC1352P7 MCU with it's own flash program memory, ROM 
and SRAM. This processor has SubG antenna. It runs it's own OS (Zephyr 
by default).

The only way for CC1352P7 and AM625 to communicate is by using that 
particular UART which is just a standard 8250 UART. The setup pretty 
much looks like 2 boards connected over UART except the UART will always 
be static.

I guess it would make most sense to write a CC1352P7 binding in this 
case? However, I am not sure how accurate that is since anything from 
the Linux side will be interacting with the Zephyr application, and not 
the processor. So in all actuality, the processor itself does not matter 
at all.
