BTW, this is not documented for any GPIO binding. If we want to specify
the cell size, then it has to be added to every GPIO controller binding.
If not, we then need to reference gpio.yaml in every GPIO controller
binding (along with unevaluatedProperties). Doesn't have to be done for
this patch to go in though.
