Introduce common schemas for Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) pin consumers and providers. These schemas standardize the definition of physical connections between DPLL devices (providers) and components requiring frequency synchronization (consumers), such as Ethernet controllers and PHYs used in Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).

Enable DPLL devices to act as pin providers for consumers (such as Ethernet controllers or PHYs). Add the '#dpll-pin-cells' property to the generic dpll-device.yaml schema and mark it as required. This allows DPLL nodes to define pin specifiers for their connected consumers. Introduce a new header '<dt-bindings/dpll/dpll.h>' to define pin direction macros (`DPLL_PIN_INPUT` and `DPLL_PIN_OUTPUT`). These macros are intended to be used in the DT pin specifiers (inside 'dpll-pins' properties of consumers) to describe the direction of the signal. Update the 'microchip,zl30731.yaml' examples to include the new '#dpll-pin-cells' property. The core schema definitions for these properties are being added to dt-schema in PR torvalds#183.

Enable DPLL devices to act as pin providers for consumers (such as Ethernet controllers or PHYs). Add the '#dpll-pin-cells' property to the generic dpll-device.yaml schema and mark it as required. This allows DPLL nodes to define pin specifiers for their connected consumers. Introduce a new header '<dt-bindings/dpll/dpll.h>' to define pin direction macros (`DPLL_PIN_INPUT` and `DPLL_PIN_OUTPUT`). These macros are intended to be used in the DT pin specifiers (inside 'dpll-pins' properties of consumers) to describe the direction of the signal. Update the 'microchip,zl30731.yaml' examples to include the new '#dpll-pin-cells' property. The core schema definitions for these properties are being added to dt-schema in PR torvalds#183.

Introduce common schemas for Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) pin consumers and providers.
These schemas standardize the definition of physical connections between DPLL devices (providers) and components requiring frequency synchronization (consumers), such as Ethernet controllers and PHYs used in Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).
