ARM: dts: nxp/imx6: Fix imx6qdl pico dwarf and nymph includes

This commit updates the imx6dl and imx6q pico-dwarf and pico-nymph board
device trees to include their respective baseboard .dtsi files instead of
imx6qdl-pico-pi.dtsi, and adds missing properties to satisfy DT schema
checks.

[Severity: Medium]
Does including imx6qdl-pico-dwarf.dtsi and imx6qdl-pico-nymph.dtsi cause
pinctrl and GPIO conflicts with imx6qdl-pico.dtsi for /leds, &pcie, and
touchscreen@38?

In arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6qdl-pico.dtsi, &iomuxc hogs both
MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_VSYNC__GPIO5_IO21 and MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT13__GPIO5_IO31
via pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog>:

arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6qdl-pico.dtsi:&iomuxc {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog>;

        pinctrl_hog: hoggrp {
                fsl,pins = <
                        ...
                        MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_VSYNC__GPIO5_IO21       0x4001b0b5 /* PICO_P26 */
                        ...
                        MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT13__GPIO5_IO31       0x4001b0b5 /* PICO_P44 */
                >;
        };
};

However, both imx6qdl-pico-dwarf.dtsi and imx6qdl-pico-nymph.dtsi define a
/leds node with pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_gpio_leds> claiming
MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT13__GPIO5_IO31, and imx6qdl-pico-nymph.dtsi enables
&pcie whose pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_pcie_reset> claims
MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_VSYNC__GPIO5_IO21. Because imx_pmx_ops does not set
.function_is_gpio, pin_request() rejects a second device claiming a pin
already owned by iomuxc, causing pinctrl_bind_pins() to fail with -EINVAL
when probing /leds on Dwarf and Nymph and &pcie on Nymph.

In addition, /leds in both baseboard files requests <&gpio5 31
GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH> as an output, while touchscreen@38 in
imx6qdl-pico.dtsi uses that same GPIO5_IO31 line as its interrupt input
(interrupt-parent = <&gpio5>; interrupts = <31 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;).
I give up...
