[PATCH] checkpatch: add DT compatible string documentation check

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <rob.herring@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This adds a simple check that any compatible strings in DeviceTree dts
files are present in Documentation/devicetree/bindings. This should be a
temporary check until we have more sophisticated binding schema checking.
