We shouldn't reference Linux kernel functions or Linux itself in proper
bindings. It's OK to reference functions in the kernel when explaining
examples, but otherwise we shouldn't reference functions to describe
what the binding means.

Many serially-attached GPIO and IIO devices are daisy-chainable.
Examples for GPIO devices are Maxim MAX3191x and TI SN65HVS88x:

Examples for IIO devices are TI DAC128S085 and TI DAC161S055:

We already have drivers for daisy-chainable devices in the tree but
their devicetree bindings are somewhat inconsistent and ill-named:
The gpio-74x164.c driver uses "registers-number" to convey the
number of devices in the daisy-chain. (Sans vendor prefix,
multiple vendors sell compatible versions of this chip.)
The gpio-pisosr.c driver takes a different approach and calculates
the number of devices in the daisy-chain by dividing the common
"ngpios" property (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt)
by 8 (which assumes that each chip has 8 inputs).
Let's standardize on a common "#daisy-chained-devices" property.
That name was chosen because it's the term most frequently used in
datasheets. (A less frequently used synonym is "cascaded devices".)

The Devicetree Specification has superseded the ePAPR as the
base specification for bindings. Update files in Documentation
to reference the new document.
First reference to ePAPR in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cci.txt
is generic, remove it.
Some files are not updated because there is no hypervisor chapter
in the Devicetree Specification:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/powerpc/fsl/msi-pic.txt
Documenation/virtual/kvm/api.txt
Documenation/virtual/kvm/ppc-pv.txt

These apply to newly converted drivers, like serial8250/libahci/...
The examples were adapted from the regmap bindings document.
