dt-bindings: Drop incorrect usage of double '::'

This commit cleans up device tree binding schemas by removing the redundant
double colons at the end of descriptions inside YAML literal style blocks.

[Severity: Low]
Does this unintentionally change the standard Backus-Naur Form (BNF) ::=
operator to :=? It looks like a global search-and-replace for :: might
have accidentally caught these BNF production rules.
