[RFC PATCH 05/10] dt-bindings: pwm: Add bindings for PWM function in Netronix EC

The Netronix embedded controller as found in Kobo Aura and Tolino Shine
supports one PWM channel, which is used to control the frontlight
brightness on these devices.

Known problems:
- `make dt_binding_check` shows the following warnings:
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/netronix,ntxec.example.dts:49.17-42:
  Warning (pwms_property): /example-0/backlight:pwms: cell 2 is not a
  phandle reference
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/netronix,ntxec.example.dts:49.17-42:
  Warning (pwms_property): /example-0/backlight:pwms: Could not get
  phandle node for (cell 2)
