Convert parts of gpio.txt bindings into common dtschema file for GPIO
controllers.  The schema enforces proper naming of GPIO controller nodes
and GPIO hogs.

Did you not see my previous reply about a common schema? We already
have a common GPIO and hog schema in dtschema. Please add to it
whatever is missing.

Indeed, I'll enhance the dt-schema.

The trouble is that each in-kernel YAML file still has to mention
possible gpio-hogs nodes. Is the proper solution to put them in common
YAML inside kernel sources?

Currently, the gpio.yaml schema is applied to all nodes. That has the 
advantage that GPIO related properties are always checked whether we 
have a device specific schema or not. It has the disadvantage that you 
can't do some constraints like required properties or what's in child 
nodes.

We could (and probably should) change it to be referenced by specific 
gpio controller schemas like we do for i2c, spi, etc. Then you can 
define required properties there and do something like:

"-hogs$":
  type: object
  $ref: gpio-hogs.yaml#

My goal is all common schema end up in dtschema, but I haven't pushed
folks to do that yet. Ones I've done are there though. One issue is
what's in dtschema should be GPL/BSD and the existing text bindings
are default GPL, so there's a relicensing exercise. In some cases, the
schema is there but I haven't copied over the descriptions.

Right, I'll skip the descriptions when posting to dt-schema.

I was hoping someone would add the descriptions. :)
