Define bindings for pwm-stm32

version 6:
- change st,breakinput parameter format to make it usuable on stm32f7 too.

version 2:
- use parameters instead of compatible of handle the hardware configuration

It could 0 and 1, I will add this information.

You can have one configuration per index so I will rephrase it like that:
One or two <index level filter> to describe break input configurations.
"index" indicates on which break input (0 or 1 ) the configuration
should be applied.

No it specify on which input level the break event is generated

Very very basically filter is more a debounce value set on the signal
to avoid glitches.
The goal of break input feature is to stop PWM generation in hardware
errors failure case.

For a more completed description you can read "using break input
function" (starting page 645) in this doc:
