[PATCH] dt-bindings: hwmon: microchip,emc2305: add vcc-supply and #cooling-cells

From: Vincent Jardin <vjardin@xxxxxxx>

Both properties are missing, so a board that supplies either fails with
dtbs_check:

fan-controller@2c (microchip,emc2305): '#cooling-cells', 'vcc-supply'
do not match any of the regexes: '^fan@[0-4]$', '^pinctrl-[0-9]+$'

The #cooling-cells property belongs to the controller node, which is
where the driver actually registers.

Two cells is what that registration needs: a cooling-maps entry
references the fan as <&emc2305 min max>.

Two cells also documents what the driver supports today. The
pwm-separate path registers one cooling device per PWM against the same
node, and they all get cdev_id 0, so no cell count can tell them apart.
That is a driver issue, noted here but not addressed.

The examples in this binding put that property on the fan@N subnodes
instead, which does not match what the driver does: they are left alone
here rather than changed blind.

vcc-supply describes the chip's own rail, which matters on boards where
the sensor sits behind a switched supply.
