[RFC PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: display: imx: Add EPDC

Add a binding for the Electrophoretic Display Controller found at least
in the i.MX6.
The timing subnode is directly here to avoid having display parameters
spread all over the plate.

Supplies are organized the same way as in the fbdev driver in the
NXP/Freescale kernel forks. The regulators used for that purpose,
like the TPS65185, the SY7636A and MAX17135 have typically a single bit to
start a bunch of regulators of higher or negative voltage with a
well-defined timing. VCOM can be handled separately, but can also be
incorporated into that single bit.
