It looks better. Will fix it.

Yes, it's marked as "UART J58". Will add it in v2.

As a minimum support patch, it can still reply on TF-A's clock settings so no
clock property is required at the moment.

This model name is based on what I can find on the official main page of RDB2,
which is shorter without having an additional "Board" string:

https://www.nxp.com/design/designs/s32g-reference-design-2-for-vehicle-network-processing:S32G-VNP-RDB2

But having a "Board" looks good to me as well.

Same as what I have explained in the evb dts.

RDB2 has an additional serial port [uart1] on the board. Please see:
https://www.nxp.com/document/guide/get-started-with-the-s32g-reference-design-board-2-for-vehicle-network-processing:GS-S32G-VNP-RDB2

It's the same as the uart0, the uart1 is also driven by the same set of clks
[S32GEN1_CLK_LINFLEXD, S32GEN1_CLK_LIN_BAUD] according to the downstream TF-A:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/autobsps32/arm-trusted-firmware/tree/drivers/nxp/s32g/clk/s32gen1_scmi_ids.c?h=release/bsp29.0-2.3#n44
