[PATCH v9 2/7] dt-bindings: mfd: Add binding for Netronix embedded controller

This EC is found in e-book readers of multiple brands (e.g. Kobo,
Tolino), and is typically implemented as a TI MSP430 microcontroller.

It controls different functions of the system, such as power on/off,
RTC, PWM for the backlight. The exact functionality provided can vary
between boards.

v5-v9:
- no changes

v4:
- Add R-b tag

v3:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200924192455.2484005-3-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/
- Remove binding in text form patch description again
- Add additionalProperties: false
- Remove interrupt-controller property from example
- Merge pwm/rtc nodes into main node

v2:
- Add the plaintext DT binding for comparison
