gpio: dt-bindings: add ibm,ppc4xx-gpio binding



This patch adds binding information for IBM/AMCC/APM GPIO
Controllers of the PowerPC 4XX series and compatible SoCs.

The "PowerPC 405EP Embedded Processor Data Sheet" has the
following to say about the GPIO controllers: "

 - Controller functions and GPIO registers are programmed
   and accessed via memory-mapped OPB bus master accesses

 - All GPIOs are pin-shared with other functions. DCRs control
   whether a particular pin that has GPIO capabilities acts
   as a GPIO or is used for another purpose.

 - Each GPIO outputs is separately programmable to emulate
   an open-drain driver (i.e. drives to zero, threestated if
   output bit is 1)

"
The ppc4xx_gpio.c driver is part of the platform/sysdev drivers
in arch/powerpc/sysdev.

		* IBM/AMCC/APM GPIO Controller for PowerPC 4XX series and compatible SoCs

		All GPIOs are pin-shared with other functions. DCRs control whether a
		particular pin that has GPIO capabilities acts as a GPIO or is used for
		another purpose. GPIO outputs are separately programmable to emulate
		an open-drain driver.

		Required properties:
		- compatible: must be "ibm,ppc4xx-gpio"
		- reg: address and length of the register set for the device
		- #gpio-cells: must be set to 2. The first cell is the pin number
		and the second cell is used to specify the gpio polarity:
		0 = active high
		1 = active low
		- gpio-controller: marks the device node as a gpio controller.

		Example:

		GPIO0: gpio@ef600b00 {
		compatible = "ibm,ppc4xx-gpio";
		reg = <0xef600b00 0x00000048>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;
		};
