dt-bindings: incomplete-devices: document devices without bindings

There are devices in the wild with non-updatable firmware coming with
ACPI tables with rejected compatibles, e.g. "ltr,ltrf216a".  Linux
kernel still supports this device via ACPI PRP0001, however the
compatible was never accepted to bindings.

There are also several early PowerPC or SPARC platforms using
compatibles for their OpenFirmware, but without in-tree DTS.  Often the
legacy compatible is not correct in terms of current Devicetree
specification, e.g. missing vendor prefix.

Finally there are also Linux-specific tools and test code with
compatibles.

Add a schema covering above cases purely to satisfy the DT schema and
scripts/checkpatch.pl checks for undocumented compatibles.  For
ltr,ltrf216a this also documents the consensus: compatible is allowed
only via ACPI PRP0001, but not bindings.

description:
Some devices will not or should not get a proper Devicetree bindings, but
their compatibles are present in Linux drivers for various reasons.
Examples are devices using ACPI PRP0001 with non-updatable firmware/ACPI
tables or old PowerPC platforms without in-tree DTS.
Following list of devices is an incomplete schema with a goal to pass DT schema
checks on undocumented compatibles but also reject any DTS file using such
un-approved compatible.
Usage of any of following compatibles is not allowed in Devicetree sources,
even if they come from immutable firmware.
