Same Devicetree binding can be expressed multiple ways thus no wonder
we have multiple variants of similar concept.  All such code could be
cleaned up, but even then new contributor might not be able to find
good, existing binding solving their case.

Add subdirectory with two Devicetree schema examples (GPIO hog and
variable lists like clocks), hoping it will grow with reference-designs.
All these bindings use valid compatibles, although with "test" vendor
prefix, so they will be validated by DT schema.

If approach is accepted, I will come with more ideas, as commented
during LPC DT BoF to creates examples based on review.

The best way to ensure this is done right is eliminate the need rather 
than adding examples to be ignored.

I think we need to make gpio provider bindings reference gpio.yaml and 
then handle hogs there. Generally, the pattern is that providers which 
just list properties don't have a $ref to the provider schema and are 
always applied. Schemas that have child nodes like bus schemas are 
referenced by the specific controller schemas. GPIO started out as the 
former, but the addition of hogs made it more like the latter. That of 
course means that every GPIO provider can have hogs, but I think that's 
the right answer even though I'd really prefer no hogs at all.

Always applying schemas like gpio.yaml has some benefits over relying 
on applying it via $ref, but that's diminished once everything has a 
schema. Of course, we can do both at the expense of applying the schema 
twice.

Ack, I will take a look at applying gpio.yaml to all controllers. At
least looking at Linux, all GPIO chips and pinctrl with GPIO chip code
go via generic of_gpiochip_add() which later goes via children
for_each_available_child_of_node_scoped() to add hogs, so adding hogs to
each schema seems matching reality.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
