[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: ttyvs: document serial null modem driver bindings

[Rishi Gupta]

The ttyvs driver creates virtual tty devices. These devices can
also be created through device tree. This commit document this.

Changes in v2:
- Made dev-num property mandatory
- Removed descriptions not needed due to driver changes

+description: |
+  The ttyvs driver creates a virtual card which can have 0 to 65535
+  virtual tty devices. The card is modelled as a node with zero or more
+  child nodes each representing a virtual tty device. These devices
+  can be configured to be a loop-back type device or it can be part of
+  a null-modem pair.
+
+  Devices can be created by defining properties required to instantiate
+  a device (see examples Ex1/2/3 at the end). More information about
+  how to use this driver is here Documentation/virtual/tty-ttyvs.rst

+    description:
+      By default, the driver can create upto 64 devices. This number can
+      be changed by passing 'max_num_vs_devs' module parameter to the driver
+      or by defining 'max-num-vs-devs' DT property. If both are used then
+      driver updates itself to support total number of devices as defined
+      by max-num-vs-devs property.
