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.
