[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: HID: i2c-hid: Add the ability to control a reset GPIO

[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: HID: i2c-hid: Add the ability to control a reset GPIO

[Douglas Anderson]

Apparently some devices connected via i2c-hid have timing requirements
around when a reset GPIO should be asserted to them.  The diagram I
have seen, which I believe is from a Goodix device, looked like this:

         +----------------------------------
         |
AVDD ----+
               +------------------------------
         | (a) |
RESET ---------+
                     +-------------
               | (b) |
I2C comm OK ---------+

Where (a) is 10 ms and (b) is 120 ms.

Let's add the ability to specify these timings to the devicetree
bindings.

I notice this bindings file is still a ".txt" file.  Some searching on
The Internets(TM) shows that Rob has maybe started a conversion 5
years ago [1], but that looks ancient.  I can try to put something
together if need be, or we can just land this fix.  ;-)

Note that the .txt version of the bindings seems to indicate that
anyone using one of the optional properties is supposed to declare
their special compatible string.  I'm not sure if that's still
considered important or not?  Once you manage to get these devices
powered on and talking i2c they self-describe themselves...

That was attempt number 1 using YAML...

This change is exactly why devices should have specific compatible 
strings.

IMO, you should imply this from the compatible string.
