[PATCH v2 04/10] dt-bindings: pwm: Add bindings for PWM function in Netronix EC

The Netronix embedded controller as found in Kobo Aura and Tolino Shine
supports one PWM channel, which is used to control the frontlight
brightness on these devices.

v2:
- Add plaintext binding to patch description, for comparison
- Fix pwm-cells property (should be 2, not 1)
- Add dummy regulator to example, because the pwm-backlight binding requires a
  power supply


For reference, here is the binding in text form:


  PWM functionality in Netronix Embedded Controller

  Required properties:
  - compatible: should be "netronix,ntxec-pwm"
  - #pwm-cells: should be 2.

  Available PWM channels:
  - 0: The PWM channel controlled by registers 0xa1-0xa7

  Example:

  	embedded-controller at 43 {
  		compatible = "netronix,ntxec";
  		...

  		ec_pwm: pwm {
  			compatible = "netronix,ntxec-pwm";
  			#pwm-cells = <1>;
  		};
  	};

  	...

  	backlight {
  		compatible = "pwm-backlight";
  		pwms = <&ec_pwm 0 50000>;
  	};
