Convert i2c-omap.txt to YAML schema for better checks and documentation.

Following properties were used in DT but were not documented in txt
bindings and has been included in YAML schema:
1. Include ti,am4372-i2c compatible
2. Include dmas property used in few OMAP dts files

The DMA is not supported by i2c-omap driver, so wouldn't be better to
just drop dmas from DTBs to avoid confusions?
It can be added later.

Will do.. I will also send patches dropping dmas from dts that currently
have them populated.

hmm, we have
- DO attempt to make bindings complete even if a driver doesn't support some
   features. For example, if a device has an interrupt, then include the
   'interrupts' property even if the driver is only polled mode.

in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-bindings.rst
Shouln't the dma stay there if the hardware supports it? Devicetree
should describe the hardware not the driver if I understood things
right.

True.  But my above statement is also valid - it introduces confusion from user point of view.
More over, 'dmas' is not part of original binding and were randomly added to some SoCs.
And it's much more easy to extend binding (in the future) then remove something after.

I leave it to Vignesh, Tony to decide.
