Reword the binding document to make it clear how the propeties work
and which properties affect which other properties.

Note: The recent gpio-regulator rework caused breakage. While the
changes in the gpio-regulator code were according to the DT
binding document, they stopped working with older DTs. Make
the binding document clearer to prevent such breakage in the
future.
