+* PWM vibrator device tree bindings

+Registers a PWM device as vibrator. It is expected, that the vibrator's
+strength increases based on the duty cycle of the enable PWM channel
+(100% duty cycle meaning strongest vibration, 0% meaning no vibration).
+
+The binding supports an optional direction PWM channel, that can be
+driven at fixed duty cycle. If available this is can be used to increase
+the vibration effect of some devices.
Actually what "direction" does would be nice to explain, because I
don't know. Does it make the motor turn the other way around?
Yes, at least that's how I understand it. IIUIC this will increase
the imbalance effect and thus the vibration.

Is nanoseconds right unit here? It drives a motor...
Yes, for the driving the motor the values will be very big
and we could use milliseconds. But the PWM specifier [0] uses
nanoseconds for the period and I think period and duty cycle
should be described in the same scale.
