This is the second patch. Bindings must be introduced before you start
using them.

use -bp suffix:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/property-units.yaml#L44

which will mean the unit is 1/100 of %, not 1/10. Then you can also drop
the $ref.

I propose to use just the value, not the index, so the name should
finish with '-bp' and the $ref can be dropped.
