Thank Krzysztof, we had most of this collected as BKM in some internal
documents and it's great to see the effort to consolidate this and add
it to the kernel documentation.

On point 4, do you have a more explicit way to define what is an actual
standard/common property? You mention the vendor-prefixes as an example,
is this just an example or this is the whole definition?

What would be the order for this for example (from an existing DTS file)?

	reg_sdhc1_vmmc: regulator-sdhci1 {
		compatible = "regulator-fixed";
		pinctrl-names = "default";
		pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_sd1_pwr_en>;
		enable-active-high;
		gpio = <&main_gpio0 29 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		off-on-delay-us = <100000>;
		regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-name = "+V3.3_SD";
		startup-delay-us = <2000>;
	};

I guess the point that is not obvious to me here is where do we want
pinctrl. I like it at position between 3 and 4, the rationale is that is
a very frequent property and this way it will be in a similar place for
every node.
