[PATCH 1/8] dt-bindings: thermal: Add Google GS101 TMU

Add device tree bindings for the Google GS101 Thermal Management Unit
(TMU).

The GS101 TMU is a hybrid thermal solution:
1. Configuration (thresholds, hysteresis) is handled via the Alive
   Clock and Power Manager (ACPM) firmware protocol.
2. Interrupt handling is handled by the kernel via direct register
   access.

This binding documents the required resources, including the APB clock
for register access and the phandle to the associated syscon node.

+description: |
+  The Google GS101 TMU is a thermal sensor block managed via the ACPM
+  (Active Core Power Management) firmware. While the firmware handles
+  the thermal algorithm and thresholds, the kernel requires direct
+  access to the interrupt pending registers via a syscon interface to
+  acknowledge and clear thermal interrupts.
