[PATCH V2] dt-bindings: mailbox: ti,secure-proxy: Convert to yaml

Convert the ti,secure-proxy to yaml for better checks and documentation.
Differences being mostly in the examples:
- I've dropped the example usage of mailbox client, it is better done in
  tisci node definition
- Switched reg usage for address-cells and size-cells 1 - aligned with
  schema checks as well
- included header in example for buildable example

While at this, lets make sure to support upto 100 rx threads even though
typically upto 1 threads is practically in use.

NOTE: The following checkpatch warning is generated since we do include the header
in the example, but this is a false positive warning.
  WARNING: DT binding docs and includes should be a separate patch. See: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.rst

Changes since V1: (Thanks Suman for some offline comments)
- Strengthened interrupt-names property to be on rails
- More documentation (we dont want an information loss between txt and
  yaml)
- Added a max interrupts of 100, which is a rather conservative limit on
  current devices, but who knows..
- Commit message updates
- compatible is a simpler const.
- interrupt-names are required property - makes no sense in not knowing
  which interrupts belong to which thread irqs.

-Texas Instruments' Secure Proxy
-========================================
-
-The Texas Instruments' secure proxy is a mailbox controller that has
-configurable queues selectable at SoC(System on Chip) integration. The
-Message manager is broken up into different address regions that are
-called "threads" or "proxies" - each instance is unidirectional and is
-instantiated at SoC integration level by system controller to indicate
-receive or transmit path.
-
-Message Manager Device Node:
-===========================
-Required properties:
---------------------
-- compatible:		Shall be "ti,am654-secure-proxy"
-- reg-names 		target_data - Map the proxy data region
-			rt - Map the realtime status region
-			scfg - Map the configuration region
-- reg:			Contains the register map per reg-names.
-- #mbox-cells		Shall be 1 and shall refer to the transfer path
-			called thread.
-- interrupt-names:	Contains interrupt names matching the rx transfer path
-			for a given SoC. Receive interrupts shall be of the
-			format: "rx_<PID>".
-- interrupts:		Contains the interrupt information corresponding to
-			interrupt-names property.
-
-Example(AM654):
-------------
-
-	secure_proxy: mailbox at 32c00000 {
-		compatible = "ti,am654-secure-proxy";
-		#mbox-cells = <1>;
-		reg-names = "target_data", "rt", "scfg";
-		reg = <0x0 0x32c00000 0x0 0x100000>,
-		      <0x0 0x32400000 0x0 0x100000>,
-		      <0x0 0x32800000 0x0 0x100000>;
-		interrupt-names = "rx_011";
-		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 32 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
-	};
-
-	dmsc: dmsc {
-		[...]
-		mbox-names = "rx", "tx";
-		# RX Thread ID is 11
-		# TX Thread ID is 13
-		mboxes= <&secure_proxy 11>,
-			<&secure_proxy 13>;
-		[...]
-	};
