The Amlogic A1 has a UART_AO port, which can be used, for example, for
BT HCI H4 connection.
This patch adds mux definitions for it.

In the past we've only taken the pinctrl definitions if we have a
board that uses them.
Neil, do we still have the same policy in place? If so this patch
should be sent with the series that adds support for your A1 board.

Only our newer .dtsi (e.g. meson-g12-common.dtsi) are following the
pattern where node names should use dashes instead of underscores.
So please use: uart_a_pins: uart-a { ...
[...]

similar to the comment from above:
uart_a_cts_rts_pins: uart-a-cts-rts { ...

Out of curiosity: is this pull down needed on all boards or just specific ones?
It seems like all other SoCs use bias-disable for the RTS/CTS pins.

Yes and no, if the work is done I'll take it, but yeah since upstream linux
hates dead code, let's only define what's necessary.

The new scheme which should be use should be:
uart_a_pins: uart-a-pins-state {
but it wasn't enforced in the pinctrl yaml pushed by heiner, but for sure
no underscores in the node name.

I'll prepare the patches for ad401 reference board, and share the in the
next patch series version.

Okay, no problem. I'll rename the nodes in the next patch series
version.

That's a good question. The Amlogic custom kernel DTSI declares
bias-pull-down for CTS/RTS pins in UART_A. There is no information about
this in the A1 datasheet. However, from my understanding, it is related
to the usage of the UART_A. Typically, the UART_A endpoint on A1 boards
is used for BT connections, which is why Amlogic applies bias-pull-down
in the common DTSI. If my assumption is correct, it would be better to
move the bias-pull-down node parameter to the custom board DTS. I will
investigate this further and rework it in the next version if necessary.
