[PATCH] docs: dt: remove stale property-units.txt, link to current schema

From: Luca Ceresoli
Date: Wed May 12 2021 - 11:50:46 EST


property-units.txt is not maintained anymore. New suffixes are now
supported that have not been added here.

To avoid people incorrectly think a given suffix is not in the list remove
the file entirely and point to the authoritative place where the
recommended suffixes are maintained.

-Standard Unit Suffixes for Property names
-
-Properties which have a unit of measure are recommended to have a unit
-suffix appended to the property name. The list below contains the
-recommended suffixes. Other variations exist in bindings, but should not
-be used in new bindings or added here. The inconsistency in the unit
-prefixes is due to selecting the most commonly used variants.
-
-It is also recommended to use the units listed here and not add additional
-unit prefixes.

- DO use common property unit suffixes for properties with scientific units.
- See property-units.txt.
+ Recommended suffixes are listed at
+ https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/master/schemas/property-units.yaml

- DO define properties in terms of constraints. How many entries? What are
possible values? What is the order?
