Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/2] dt-bindings: gpio: add gpio-split controller

Add dt-schema for a virtual gpio-split controller which exposes virtual
GPIOs for a shared GPIO controlled by a multiplexer, e.g. a gpio-mux.

The gpio-split controller is a gpio-controller, thus has mostly the same
semantics. However, it requires a mux-control to be specified upon which
it will operate.

+description:
+  A virtual GPIO controller to provide virtual GPIOs backed by a single real
+  GPIO and a multiplexer. This controller may be used in case a real GPIO is
+  connected to multiple inputs/outputs and controlled by a multiplexer, and
+  another subsystem/driver is not able to work with multiplexer subsystem.
