Add bindings information for STM32 General Purpose Timer

version 2:
- rename stm32-mfd-timer to stm32-gptimer
- only keep one compatible string

Sorry to do this Ben.  Not much to do now though!

> +STM32 General Purpose Timer driver bindings

This is a great place to describe what we're *actually* trying to
achieve with this driver, and the worst place to use the term "general
purpose", since this IP is so much more than that.


"STM32 Timers

This IP provides 3 types of timer along with PWM functionality.

[...]"

... then go on to explain what the 3 types are and how they can be
used.

> +- compatible: must be "st,stm32-gptimer"

I vehemently disagree that this entire IP is a GP Timer.  It contains
GP timers, sure, but it also contains Advanced and Basic timers.

IMHO this compatible should be "st,stm32-timers".

And the file name of both this and the *.c file should reflect that
too.

Remainder looks nice.

Out of interest, do you use the "@0", "@1" for anything now?

I will do those name changes in v6.

No I don't use them so I will remove them in v6
