[v5 1/2] dt-bindings: gpio: aspeed: Add SGPIO support

[Hongwei Zhang]

Hello Linus and Andrew,

Thanks for your detailed comments, I just submitted v6 of our update:
_http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1139035/
_http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1139038/
_http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1139040/

please ignore my previous patches sent on 07/28, they does not have proper serial
title and one of the patch is missing.
