ARM: dts: aspeed: g6: add aspeed,vuart-over-pci prop to vuart3 and 4

The VUART 3 and 4 are VUART over PCI.
Set this flag to indicate this information.
Also set the syscon phandle.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does enabling this property expose a missing
error cleanup path in the driver?

If a probe failure occurs in drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_aspeed_vuart.c
after the port is registered (for example, if setting up the vuart-over-pci
functionality fails), the error path skips unregistering the 8250 port:

aspeed_vuart_probe() {
    ...
err_sysfs_remove:
    sysfs_remove_group(&vuart->dev->kobj, &aspeed_vuart_attr_group);
    return rc;
}

Does this leave the registered port alive while its private data is freed by
the devres framework?

If the port later handles an interrupt via aspeed_vuart_handle_irq() or is
accessed, could it dereference the freed memory and cause a use-after-free
crash?

Would it be safer to ensure serial8250_unregister_port() is called in this
error path?
