Add device tree binding documentation for the AAEON embedded controller
(MCU). This microcontroller is found on AAEON embedded boards, it is
connected via I2C and  and provides a GPIO control and watchdog timer.

+description:
+  AAEON embeds a microcontroller on Standard RISC Gateway with ARM i.MX8M Plus
+  Quad-Core boards providing GPIO control and watchdog timer.
+
+  This MCU is connected via I2C bus.
+
+  Its GPIO controller provides 7 GPOs and 12 GPIOs.
+
+  Its watchdog has a fixed maximum hardware heartbeat of 25 seconds and supports
+  a timeout of 240 seconds through automatic pinging.
+  The timeout is not programmable and cannot be changed via device tree properties.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: aaeon,srg-imx8pl-mcu
+
+  reg:
+    maxItems: 1
+
+required:
+  - compatible

My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/dt-review-ci/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/aaeon,srg-imx8pl-mcu.example.dtb: embedded-controller@62 (aaeon,srg-imx8pl-mcu): '#gpio-cells', 'gpio-controller', 'gpio-line-names' do not match any of the regexes: '^pinctrl-[0-9]+$'
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/mfd/aaeon,srg-imx8pl-mcu.yaml

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/devicetree/patch/20260123-dev-b4-aaeon-mcu-driver-v2-2-9f4c00bfb5cb@bootlin.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.
