* Device tree bindings for ARM PL172/PL175/PL176 MultiPort Memory Controller

Required properties:

- compatible:		Must be "arm,primecell" and exactly one from
			"arm,pl172", "arm,pl175" or "arm,pl176".

- reg:			Must contains offset/length value for controller.

- #address-cells:	Must be 2. The partition number has to be encoded in the
			first address cell and it may accept values 0..N-1
			(N - total number of partitions). The second cell is the
			offset into the partition.

- #size-cells:		Must be set to 1.

- ranges:		Must contain one or more chip select memory regions.

- clocks:		Must contain references to controller clocks.

- clock-names:		Must contain "mpmcclk" and "apb_pclk".

- clock-ranges:		Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit
			named clocks. Required only if clock tree data present
			in device tree.
			See clock-bindings.txt

Child chip-select (cs) nodes contain the memory devices nodes connected to
such as NOR (e.g. cfi-flash) and NAND.

Required child cs node properties:

- #address-cells:	Must be 2.

- #size-cells:		Must be 1.

- ranges:		Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit
			memory layout.

- clock-ranges:		Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit
			named clocks. Required only if clock tree data present
			in device tree.

- mpmc,cs:		Chip select number. Indicates to the pl0172 driver
			which chipselect is used for accessing the memory.

- mpmc,memory-width:	Width of the chip select memory. Must be equal to
			either 8, 16 or 32.

Optional child cs node config properties:

- mpmc,async-page-mode:	Enable asynchronous page mode.

- mpmc,cs-active-high:	Set chip select polarity to active high.

- mpmc,byte-lane-low:	Set byte lane state to low.

- mpmc,extended-wait:	Enable extended wait.

- mpmc,buffer-enable:	Enable write buffer, option is not supported by
			PL175 and PL176 controllers.

- mpmc,write-protect:	Enable write protect.

Optional child cs node timing properties:

- mpmc,write-enable-delay:	Delay from chip select assertion to write
				enable (WE signal) in nano seconds.

- mpmc,output-enable-delay:	Delay from chip select assertion to output
				enable (OE signal) in nano seconds.

- mpmc,write-access-delay:	Delay from chip select assertion to write
				access in nano seconds.

- mpmc,read-access-delay:	Delay from chip select assertion to read
				access in nano seconds.

- mpmc,page-mode-read-delay:	Delay for asynchronous page mode sequential
				accesses in nano seconds.

- mpmc,turn-round-delay:	Delay between access to memory banks in nano
				seconds.

If any of the above timing parameters are absent, current parameter value will
be taken from the corresponding HW reg.

Example for pl172 with nor flash on chip select 0 shown below.
