[PATCH v3] dt-bindings: rtc: Convert rtc-cmos binding to YAML

[Teja Sai Charan B]

From: Teja Sai Charan Bellamkonda <tejaasaye@gmail.com>

Convert the rtc-cmos devicetree bindings to dt schema.

The original text binding documents only the motorola,mc146818
compatible. Existing in-tree Devicetree sources also use the
intel,ce4100-rtc compatible together with the motorola,mc146818
fallback, but this was not documented. Document the Intel variant in the
schema so that these existing configurations are accepted during schema
validation.

Changes in v2:
- Allow intel,ce4100-rtc compatible used by existing DTS files

Changes in v3:
- Drop accidentally added result.txt
- Fix example unit-address to match reg property

- Motorola mc146818 compatible RTC
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Required properties:
-  - compatible : "motorola,mc146818"
-  - reg : should contain registers location and length.
-
-Optional properties:
-  - interrupts : should contain interrupt.
-  - ctrl-reg : Contains the initial value of the control register also
-    called "Register B".
-  - freq-reg : Contains the initial value of the frequency register also
-    called "Register A".
-
-"Register A" and "B" are usually initialized by the firmware (BIOS for
-instance). If this is not done, it can be performed by the driver.
-
-ISA Example:
-
-	rtc@70 {
-	         compatible = "motorola,mc146818";
-	         interrupts = <8 3>;
-	         interrupt-parent = <&ioapic1>;
-	         ctrl-reg = <2>;
-	         freq-reg = <0x26>;
-	         reg = <1 0x70 2>;
-	 };
