A plain binary encoding has some downsides compared to the usual Gray
encoding, but that doesn't stop hardware engineers to eventually use it.
So implement support for this encoding in the rotary encoder driver.

Hello,

an alternative to define this difference in the device tree is to use
something like:

        rotary-encoder,encoding = "binary";

or

        rotary-encoder,encoding = <ROTARY_ENCODER_ENCODING_BINARY>;

instead of a property

        rotary-encoder,encoding-binary;

. While the two first solutions make it obvious that there can only be
one encoding, they IMHO look ugly, so I went for the property without
value. What do you think?

Yes, picking something like:

  rotary-encoder,encoding = "binary";

emphasizing the fact that only one encoding will be used,
will work better, scaling well if we need to introduce some
"foobar" encoding.

IMHO, it's better to use boolean properties on boolean stuff only.
