Add DT bindings for an Hitachi HD44780 Character LCD Controller where
its M6800 bus interface is connected to GPIOs.

Memory-mapped configurations are not yet supported.

+DT bindings for the Hitachi HD44780 Character LCD Controller
+
+The Hitachi HD44780 Character LCD Controller is commonly used on character LCDs
+that can display one or more lines of text. It exposes an M6800 bus interface,
+which can be used in either 4-bit or 8-bit mode.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: Must contain "hit,hd44780",
+  - data-gpios: Must contain an array of either 4 or 8 GPIO specifiers,
+    referring to the GPIO pins connected to the data signal lines DB0-DB7
+    (8-bit mode) or DB4-DB7 (4-bit mode) of the LCD Controller's bus interface,
+  - enable-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin
+    connected to the "E" (Enable) signal line of the LCD Controller's bus
+    interface,
+  - rs-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin
+    connected to the "RS" (Register Select) signal line of the LCD Controller's
+    bus interface,
+  - display-height: Height of the display, in character cells,
+  - display-width: Width of the display, in character cells.
+
+Optional properties:
+  - rw-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin
+    connected to the "RW" (Read/Write) signal line of the LCD Controller's bus
+    interface,
+  - backlight-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin
+    used for enabling the LCD's backlight,
+  - internal-buffer-width: Internal buffer width (default is 40 for displays
+    with 1 or 2 lines, and display-width for displays with more than 2 lines).
+
+Example:
+
+       auxdisplay {
+               compatible = "hit,hd44780";
+
+               data-gpios = <&hc595 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+                            <&hc595 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+                            <&hc595 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+                            <&hc595 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+               enable-gpios = <&hc595 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+               rs-gpios = <&hc595 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+
+               display-height = <2>;
+               display-width = <16>;
+       };
