Sorry, it seems I made a mistake during the patch review process. 
Should I reply to your email about version 1 of the patch or only about
version 2? I don't want to make another mistake and open two discussions 
at the same time. 
I hope to do better in the future.

Sorry, I'm new to this and don't really know what exactly you want for the
hardware description and how best to represent our hardware in dts.
For the gpio power supply, it can basically be any circuit that implements
a "fully charged" GPIO and a "disable ups" GPIO.

We're using a circuit built around the LTC3350 (super capacitor ups chip):
We use this pin to indicate that our UPS is fully charged (once the input
is gone, it's not fully charged anymore):
PFO (pin 38): Power-Fail Status Output. This open-drain output is pulled
low when a power failure has occurred.
 
For the "disable ups" GPIO, we have some external circuitry around the 
LTC3350. I can't share the schematic, but it boils down to "disable usage
of ups" so that the device shuts down immediately when power is lost.
 
We've implemented this in many of our devices, but first we're looking 
at [1] and [2], which we also want to upstream the device trees for.

[2] https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/ipc/embedded-pcs/cx8200-arm-r-cortex-r-a53/cx8200.html

For the LTC3350, there is a separate driver posted to the Linux kernel
mail list [3] by another devolper that we would like to use in the future,
but without this gpio, our circuit won't work.
