Please keep these changelogs after the --- so they don't get included in
the final changelog by git am.

A bit more information on this one wouldn't hurt but the information
will be in the datasheet I guess.

If this is the AP side GPIO then it ought to be a standard GPIO
specifier rather than a GPIO number.  If this is the pin on the PMIC
then it probably ought to be spelled out a bit more clearly.

Any custom properties are supposed to be namespaced, for example
"ti,general-config".

These would need to be listed as part of the binding, though it'd be
much more friendly to use plain text names and of_regulator_match() to
look them up.  That makes the binding much more legible.
