You can use /delete-property/, something like:

&uart0 {
/delete-property/ rts-pin;
/delete-property/ cts-pin;
};

In your overlay should work.

I have a little problem with the device tree

In zephyrproject/zephyr/boards/arm/nrf52840_mdk/nrf52840_mdk.dts the uart is defined as:

&uart0 {
compatible = "nordic,nrf-uart";
current-speed = <115200>;
status = "okay";
tx-pin = <20>;
rx-pin = <19>;
rts-pin = <5>;
cts-pin = <7>;
};

Which works just fine. However I am not using the RTS and CTS pin features of the UART, and I need to use the pins for other things. I can simply go into the DTS file and comment out the two pins:

&uart0 {
compatible = "nordic,nrf-uart";
current-speed = <115200>;
status = "okay";
tx-pin = <20>;
rx-pin = <19>;
/* rts-pin = <5>; */
/* cts-pin = <7>; */
};

And all is good. However I would prefer to use an overlay in my local working directory instead of making changes to the zephyr tree. I did try redefining uart0 in the local overlay, but RTS and CTS are still there.

What is the right way to remove RTS and CTS?
