[PATCH] dt-bindings: vendor-prefixes: favor "gateworks" over "gw"

There are two vendor prefixes for Gateworks: "gw" and "gateworks".
Favor the longer one (more descriptive) and mark "gw" as deprecated so
it will not be used in new bindings.

"gw" is still used in multiple DTS and bindings. I could fix them up as
well, although maybe this is unnecessary churn and compatibility
breakage.
