[PATCH] dt-bindings: Add schema for known '/aliases' property names

[PATCH] dt-bindings: Add schema for known '/aliases' property names

[Rob Herring]

'/aliases' node property names haven't ever been documented. There's
some names such as 'serial' which are pretty much standard. Then there
are other (mostly) platform specific names which sneak in as a way to
have indices for devices. Let's add a schema so that any new alias names
can be reviewed.

The list of property names consists of common aliases which are widely
used and ones which are used by the kernel, but are marked deprecated.
New users of deprecated names are allowed, but discouraged. There's
still more names which are present in DT files, but not used in the
kernel or u-boot (it's not trivial to check u-boot usage though). These
will generate warnings.
