[PATCH] docs: dt-bindings: suggest "reg-names" position in DTS Coding Style

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

Property "reg-names" is strictly related to "reg" so it should follow it
directly instead of falling into "Standard/common properties". This
helps reading DTS files.

All 'xxx-names' should immediately follow 'xxx'. Instead of this change,
just add a note at the bottom of this section?
