Rewrite the textual description for the WonderMedia PWM controller
as YAML schema, and switch the filename to follow the compatible
string.

Split the series from v1 into separate bindings patches so as not to
spam all the subsystems with unrelated changes, per Rob's suggestion

Changes in v2:
- reordered nodes in the example same as in properties (thanks Rob)

-Required properties:
-- compatible: should be "via,vt8500-pwm"
-- reg: physical base address and length of the controller's registers
-- #pwm-cells: should be 3. See pwm.yaml in this directory for a description of
-  the cells format. The only third cell flag supported by this binding is
-  PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED.
-- clocks: phandle to the PWM source clock

-Example:
-
-pwm1: pwm at d8220000 {
-	#pwm-cells = <3>;
-	compatible = "via,vt8500-pwm";
-	reg = <0xd8220000 0x1000>;
-	clocks = <&clkpwm>;
