The brcm,nsp-gpio-a compatible used by the NSP GPIO controller was only documented in the legacy text binding, so dtbs_check reported "failed to match any schema" for the gpio@20 node present in the bcm958625 and related broadcom boards. Convert Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,nsp-gpio.txt to a YAML schema and drop the text binding. Keep the existing required and optional properties (reg, #gpio-cells, gpio-controller, ngpios, and the optional interrupt/gpio-ranges support), including the generic pinconf child nodes with pin bias and drive-strength. Pin configuration nodes may be direct children of the controller or grouped under a "-pins" node; both forms are recognized, and each "-pins" node may group further pin configuration children. Child nodes named "-hog" are supported as GPIO hogs.
