Subject: [PATCH 4.15 152/202] media: dt-bindings/media/cec-gpio.txt: mention the CEC/HPD max voltages

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@...all.nl>

commit dac15ed62dc9d7898d3695a3c393d6f712d66185 upstream.

Mention the maximum voltages of the CEC and HPD lines. Since in the example
these lines are connected to a Raspberry Pi and the Rpi GPIO lines are 3.3V
it is a good idea to warn against directly connecting the HPD to the Raspberry
Pi's GPIO line.
