There is no change in the bindings, but just a correction in the
documentation to reflect the
implementation. Earlier when Samsung platforms did not have pinctrl
driver, legacy GPIO driver
was used which took those 5 parameters. Now since we are using
pinctrl, we need only 3 parameters.
The document was somehow not updated to reflect this change.
