Sort these and add a type so it is clear how to set the value. Add a note
about usage to the top. Correct the 'no-keyboard' binding which is missing
a prefix.

Note that some uses a u-boot prefix and some don't. Once [1] is applied
we may want to update this to always use the prefix, or never. Another
option would be to call the node u-boot,config. and drop the prefix. This
has the advantage of complying with the devicetree spec, at little cost.
