What firmware do you want on the 7I90?

I would first flash the 7I90 with the desired firmware (using the latest 
version of mesaflash)

https://github.com/micges/mesaflash

The firmware with the UART has a bug, (this is do to the fact that all the 
7I90 firmware is built with a script and the script does not fix the strides 
properly for the UART)

If the 7I90 was shipped with that firmware, thats definately a mistake

If you need firmware with a UART I will patch the bitfiles containing UARTs
But note that currently due to limitations in the IDROM format it is not 
possible to combine UARTs with SSerial or BSPI. It may be that for now (until 
IDROM V4) that the HM2 driver needs to be patched so that if a UART is fount 
it uses  hardwired stride, with maybe  a complaint rather than and abort
