The ROHM BU27010 is a sensor with 6 photodiodes (red, green, blue, clear,
IR and flickering detection) with five configurable channels. Red, green
and flickering detection being always available and two out of the rest
three (blue, clear, IR) can be selected to be simultaneously measured.
Typical application is adjusting LCD/OLED backlight of TVs, mobile phones
and tablet PCs.
Add binding document for ROHM BU27010.

Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching.
e.g.: "dt-bindings: iio:"

Isn't vdd-supply required for the hardware to work? How does it get the
power otherwise?

The BU27010 works by magic smoke. When smoke leaks out the sensor no
longer works.
Ehh, I think you are right. My thinking was that it is not uncommon for
people to not have all fixed regulators present in device-tree. But I
agree, this does not mean we should encourage that. I'll add supply to
the list of the required properties.
