[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: gpio: cavium,thunder-8890: Convert to DT schema

[Shi Hao]

Convert Cavium ThunderX GPIO bindings to DT schema.

Signed-off-by: Shi Hao <i.shihao.999@gmail.com>

v2:
 - Rename schema file based on compatible string
 - Wrap commit message body as per kernel patch guidelines
 - Use appropriate maintainer name and email address in DT schema.
 - Change commit subject as per guidelines
 - Fix $id path
 - Rebased on linux-next

 Note:
* This patch is part of the GSoC2026 application process for device tree bindings conversions

-Cavium ThunderX/OCTEON-TX GPIO controller bindings
-
-Required Properties:
-- reg: The controller bus address.
-- gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
-- #gpio-cells: Must be 2.
-  - First cell is the GPIO pin number relative to the controller.
-  - Second cell is a standard generic flag bitfield as described in gpio.txt.
-
-Optional Properties:
-- compatible: "cavium,thunder-8890-gpio", unused as PCI driver binding is used.
-- interrupt-controller: Marks the device node as an interrupt controller.
-- #interrupt-cells: Must be present and have value of 2 if
-                    "interrupt-controller" is present.
-  - First cell is the GPIO pin number relative to the controller.
-  - Second cell is triggering flags as defined in interrupts.txt.
-
-Example:
-
-gpio_6_0: gpio@6,0 {
-	compatible = "cavium,thunder-8890-gpio";
-	reg = <0x3000 0 0 0 0>; /*  DEVFN = 0x30 (6:0) */
-	gpio-controller;
-	#gpio-cells = <2>;
-	interrupt-controller;
-	#interrupt-cells = <2>;

This binding is odd and not used, so you should follow guidelines I gave
more than a year ago and updated recently and NOT convert it.

Or rather answer - why this cannot be removed instead? What is the
benefit of this binding? Is any other project using it?


Best regards,
Krzysztof

Indeed this binding has no active user and i think it is good to be removed
entirely because no driver no dts sources are using it , it seems abandoned.
Please let me know if I need to resend it if it needs to be removed.Thanks
for your time.

Best regards,
 Seihae no driver no dts sources are using it , it seens abandoned.
 Please let me know if i need to resend it if it neeeds to be removed.Thanks
