[PATCH] dt-bindings: usb: usb-device: Add panel-location

From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Thu Dec 12 2024 - 16:44:56 EST


For some devices like cameras the system needs to know where they are
mounted.

ACPI has a property for this purpose, which is parsed by
acpi_get_physical_device_location():
https://uefi.org/htmlspecs/ACPI_Spec_6_4_html/06_Device_Configuration/Device_Configuration.html#pld-physical-location-of-device

In DT we have similar property for video-interface-devices called
orientation, but it is limited to the requirements of video devices:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interface-devices.yaml

Add a new property for usb-devices that matches the behavior of
ACPI's _PLD.
