[PATCH] dt-bindings: arm: omap: Convert Counter-32K to DT schema

[PATCH] dt-bindings: arm: omap: Convert Counter-32K to DT schema

[Eduard Bostina]

Convert the Texas Instruments OMAP Counter-32K bindings to DT schema.

During the conversion, two updates were made to reflect actual hardware
usage and resolve dtbs_check warnings:
- 'ti,hwmods' has been made optional. While a search confirms it is no
  longer used, it is kept to maintain backwards compatibility.
- Added the 'ti,am4372-counter32k' compatible string, as an AM437x
  device tree uses this instead of the generic 'ti,omap-counter32k'.

It's not instead, it's more of an alongside, the reason to keep this 
would be more of a backward
compatibility reason instead as we don't know if other software stacks 
relying on DTs are using
that compatible somehow.

Would be good to fix the commit message in v2 along with any other 
comments Krzysztof might have.

Manorit

Drop the label here if you respin. In examples, there's no reason to
have labels with no users.
