[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: mfd: syscon: Disallow simple-bus with syscon

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

"syscon" is a system controller with registers having their own
functions, thus not really a trivial MMIO simple bus.  "simple-bus" on
the other hand is just a bus on which multiple devices sit and the
"simple" means no functions are allowed here.

Combination of both "syscon" and "simple-bus" is abuse of DT for easier
instantiating of Linux device drivers so add a schema to disallow that.

Unfortunately there are a few old cases of that patterns, so add
exceptions:

1. "cznic,turris1x-cpld" and "img,pistachio-cr-periph" are already used
   in upstream DTS.

2. TI has several DTSI with a child of SCM device (e.g. "ti,am3-scm")
   using "syscon" and "simple-bus" but without a dedicated compatible
   documented anywhere.  Add new compatibles for such cases.

Changes in v2:
1. Complete patch. I accidentally sent only part of it, built on top of
   internal WIP which I forgot to squash.
   I received Ack from Rob, but change is significant, so please kindly
   re-review.
