Rob has reviewed this so I presume it's fine, but I wonder
why there's no "qcom," prefix on the compatible strings.

It also seems like there might be more bindings to define
for Gunyah.  See a few more comments below.

Looking at dto_create_msg_queue() at the above link, it seems
that Gunyah message queues and capabilities get represented
in DTS, but I don't see those things documented in bindings.
I might be misinterpreting that code, but if not, should
these other things be documented as well?

Should this be qcom,gunyah-hypervisor?

Here too, should this be qcom,gunyah-resource-manager?
