Add device tree binding documentation for the AAEON embedded controller
(MCU). This microcontroller is found on AAEON embedded boards, it is
connected via I2C and  and provides a GPIO control and watchdog timer.

+description:
+  AAEON embeds a microcontroller on Standard RISC Gateway with ARM i.MX8M Plus
+  Quad-Core boards providing GPIO control and watchdog timer.
+
+  This MCU is connected via I2C bus.
+
+  Its GPIO controller provides 7 GPOs and 12 GPIOs.
+
+  Its watchdog has a fixed maximum hardware heartbeat of 25 seconds and supports
+  a timeout of 240 seconds through automatic pinging.
+  The timeout is not programmable and cannot be changed via device tree properties.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: aaeon,srg-imx8p-mcu

+  reg:
+    maxItems: 1
