you can choose one uart if you don't use it for other function, to enable it in the dts file you use

I don't know what bsp you use, as I mentioned before, pls check the dts file you use, then enable it in the dts, for example

https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-5.15.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8qm-mek.dts

you can find lpuart3 is disabled, you need set it to OK if you need to use it, this is just for reference, you can set by yourself on your own bsp
