Register the Armada 38x UART compatible with the built-in 8250
earlycon implementation so stdout-path can enable an early console
without adding a generic ns16550a compatible to the device tree.
Keeping the vendor-specific compatible avoids exposing the UART to the
generic OF 8250 runtime driver while preserving the DesignWare driver
Armada-specific runtime handling.
