[2/2] gpio: dt-bindings: add brcm,bcm6345-gpio bindings

This patch adds the device tree bindings for the Broadcom's BCM6345
memory-mapped GPIO controllers.

The gpios will be supported by gpio-mmio code of the
GPIO generic library.

Minor nitpick: I think the bindings should come first, then the
consumer. We shouldn't add support for it without having okayed the
binding.

There's nothing wrong with using it on newer SoCs to have gpio now and
then later replacing it in the dts file with a pinctrl node once the
bindings/drivers are available. We won't/can't drop support for the
gpio-driver, as 6338/6345 don't have pinctrl anyway. So older dts's
with gpio nodes will continue to work, and newer dts's will use the
pinctrl drivers.

I think we want native-endian here.

Since both have only one bank, it might make sense to call it just
"gpio" instead of numbering it.

Apart from those (minor) nitpicks, it looks good to me.
