Generic node name for vibration motor / haptics #58

Closed z3ntu closed 1 year ago

Hi, there are increasingly kernel drivers for vibration motors added for phones and similar devices. In mainline Linux vibrator, haptics and haptic-feedback (and maybe more?) is used so it's probably a good idea to standardize a name in the devicetree spec.

vibrator is currently used 19 times, haptics 3 times and haptic-feedback 4 times.

I'd be happy to submit a PR adding this to the spec but I'm not sure which of the names is preferred - or even a completely different one.

Go with vibrator as that seems to be most common.
