[PATCH] arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8395-radxa-nio-12l: Enable I2C3 on 40-pin header

From: Ricardo Pardini <ricardo at pardini.net>

I2C3 (SDA3/SCL3 on GPIO14/GPIO15) is routed to the 40-pin GPIO header,
exposed on the blue-colored pins 27 (SCL3) and 28 (SDA3). Enable the
controller, add the corresponding pin configuration in the pinctrl node
so users can use external I2C devices.

The Radxa NIO 12L exposes I2C3 (SDA3/SCL3, GPIO14/GPIO15) on its 40-pin
GPIO header, on the blue-coloured pins 27 (SCL3) and 28 (SDA3).

Enable the I2C3 controller, add the matching pinctrl configuration and run
the bus at 400 kHz, matching the other I2C buses already enabled on this
board.

Tested using a SD1306 I2C OLED display.
