The brcm,nsp-gpio-a compatible used by the NSP GPIO controller was only
documented in the legacy text binding, so dtbs_check reported "failed to
match any schema" for the gpio@20 node present in the bcm958625 and
related broadcom boards.

Convert Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,nsp-gpio.txt to
a YAML schema and drop the text binding. Keep the existing required and
optional properties (reg, #gpio-cells, gpio-controller, ngpios, and the
optional interrupt/gpio-ranges support), including the generic pinconf
child nodes with pin bias and drive-strength.

Pin configuration nodes may be direct children of the controller or
grouped under a "-pins" node; both forms are recognized, and each "-pins"
node may group further pin configuration children. Child nodes named
"-hog" are supported as GPIO hogs.

The generic pinconf and pinmux helper schemas end in
"additionalProperties: true" and cannot close the node from an in-place
applicator, so spell out the supported subset and set
"additionalProperties: false" in the local pin configuration node schema.
Without it misspelled or unsupported properties such as "bias-pullup" or
"slew-rate" are silently accepted.

Controller children are matched with "anyOf" against the pin
configuration node schema and against "not: { type: object }". The
latter keeps non-node properties such as #pinctrl-cells or clocks from
being forced through the pin configuration schema, while still rejecting
pin configuration child nodes that do not look like one. A plain
"additionalProperties: false" cannot be used here because it would also
reject the directly nested pin configuration nodes.

-Broadcom Northstar plus (NSP) GPIO/PINCONF Controller
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible:
-    Must be "brcm,nsp-gpio-a"
-
-- reg:
-    Should contain the register physical address and length for each of
-    GPIO base, IO control registers
-
-- #gpio-cells:
-    Must be two. The first cell is the GPIO pin number (within the
-    controller's pin space) and the second cell is used for the following:
-    bit[0]: polarity (0 for active high and 1 for active low)
-
-- gpio-controller:
-    Specifies that the node is a GPIO controller
-
-- ngpios:
-    Number of gpios supported (58x25 supports 32 and 58x23 supports 24)
-
-Optional properties:
-- interrupts:
-    Interrupt ID
-
-- interrupt-controller:
-    Specifies that the node is an interrupt controller
-
-- gpio-ranges:
-    Specifies the mapping between gpio controller and pin-controllers pins.
-    This requires 4 fields in cells defined as -
-    1. Phandle of pin-controller.
-    2. GPIO base pin offset.
-    3  Pin-control base pin offset.
-    4. number of gpio pins which are linearly mapped from pin base.
-
-Supported generic PINCONF properties in child nodes:
-- pins:
-    The list of pins (within the controller's own pin space) that properties
-    in the node apply to. Pin names are "gpio-<pin>"
-
-- bias-disable:
-    Disable pin bias
-
-- bias-pull-up:
-    Enable internal pull up resistor
-
-- bias-pull-down:
-    Enable internal pull down resistor
-
-- drive-strength:
-    Valid drive strength values include 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 (mA)
-
-Example:
-
-	gpioa: gpio@18000020 {
-		compatible = "brcm,nsp-gpio-a";
-		reg = <0x18000020 0x100>,
-		      <0x1803f1c4 0x1c>;
-		#gpio-cells = <2>;
-		gpio-controller;
-		ngpios = <32>;
-		gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl 0 0 31>;
-		interrupt-controller;
-		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 85 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
-
-		/* Hog a few default settings */
-		pinctrl-names = "default";
-		pinctrl-0 = <&led>;
-		led: led {
-			pins = "gpio-1";
-			bias-pull-up;
-		};
-
-		pwr: pwr {
-			gpio-hog;
-			gpios = <3 1>;
-			output-high;

+description: |
+  The chipCommonA GPIO block also provides generic pin configuration for the
+  pins it controls: bias, pull up/down and drive strength. Pin configuration
+  child nodes may be direct children of the controller, or grouped under a
+  '-pins' node. In both cases the pin configuration nodes are referenced by
+  the consuming device through the standard pinctrl-0/pinctrl-names
+  properties. Child nodes named '*-hog' are treated as GPIO hogs.
