[PATCH v3] dt-bindings: pwm: st,pwm: convert to DT schema

[Charan Pedumuru]

Convert STMicroelectronics STiH41x PWM/Capture controller binding
to DT schema.
Changes during conversion:
- Fix compatible string from "st,pwm" to "st,sti-pwm" to match the
  actual hardware variant naming convention used across STi bindings.
- Drop pinctrl-names from the required list as pinctrl properties are
  inherited and validated by the pinctrl schema.

Changes in v3:
- Fix compatible to "st,sti-pwm".
- Drop pinctrl-names from required.
- Modify the commit message to explain the changes made.
- Change maintainer to "Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>".
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260618-st-pwm-v2-1-c792d5795ce2@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Add the missing interrupts to the required following the old binding.

+description:
+  The STiH41x PWM controller supports both PWM output and input capture
+  functionality. It provides multiple PWM output channels for generating
+  variable duty-cycle waveforms, and multiple input capture channels for
+  measuring external signal periods and pulse widths. PWM output channels
+  and input capture channels are configured independently via
+  st,pwm-num-chan and st,capture-num-chan respectively.

Re: [PATCH v3] dt-bindings: pwm: st,pwm: convert to DT schema

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The example device tree node uses an outdated compatible string ('st,pwm') that violates the schema's own constraints ('st,sti-pwm'), causing dt_binding_check to fail.

dt-bindings: pwm: st,pwm: convert to DT schema

This commit converts the STMicroelectronics STiH41x PWM/Capture controller
binding to DT schema. It changes the compatible string to "st,sti-pwm"
to match the hardware variant naming convention and removes pinctrl-names
from the required properties list.

[Severity: Low]
Does this compatible string match the new schema?

The schema constraints above define the compatible property as "st,sti-pwm",
but the example node here still uses "st,pwm". Will this regression cause
the dt_binding_check validation to fail?
