Input: tsc2007 - read "ti,poll-period" as u32grafted
The "ti,poll-period" property is documented as a normal uint32 cell.
The driver used a u64 helper, which makes the helper type disagree with
the schema even though the stored value is still small.
Read "ti,poll-period" with the u32 helper matching the documented DT
cell size.
