ML-AHB interconnect bindings

These bindings describe the STM32 SoCs ML-AHB interconnect bus which connects
a Cortex-M subsystem with dedicated memories.
The MCU SRAM and RETRAM memory parts can be accessed through different addresses
(see "RAM aliases" in [1]) using different buses (see [2]) : balancing the
Cortex-M firmware accesses among those ports allows to tune the system
performance.

Required properties:
- compatible: should be "simple-bus"
- dma-ranges: describes memory addresses translation between the local CPU and
	   the remote Cortex-M processor. Each memory region, is declared with
	   3 parameters:
		 - param 1: device base address (Cortex-M processor address)
		 - param 2: physical base address (local CPU address)
		 - param 3: size of the memory region.

The Cortex-M remote processor accessed via the mlahb interconnect is described
by a child node.

Example:
mlahb {
	compatible = "simple-bus";
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <1>;
	dma-ranges = <0x00000000 0x38000000 0x10000>,
		     <0x10000000 0x10000000 0x60000>,
		     <0x30000000 0x30000000 0x60000>;

	m4_rproc: m4@10000000 {
		...
	};
};
