Documentation: devicetree: arm: cpus/cpu nodes bindings updates

In order to extend the current cpu nodes bindings to newer CPUs
inclusive of AArch64 and to update support for older ARM CPUs this
patch updates device tree documentation for the cpu nodes bindings.

Main changes:
    - adds 64-bit bindings
    - define usage of #address-cells
    - defines behaviour on pre and post v7 uniprocessor systems
    - adds ARM 11MPcore specific reg property definition

* ARM CPUs binding description
=================
ARM CPUs bindings
=================
The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through
the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu")
defining properties for every cpu.
Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR standard, available from:
Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR v1.1 standard, available from:
http://devicetree.org
https://www.power.org/documentation/epapr-version-1-1/
For the ARM architecture every CPU node must contain the following properties:
with updates for 32-bit and 64-bit ARM systems provided in this document.
- device_type: must be "cpu"
- reg: property matching the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register bits
reg[31:24] bits must be set to 0
- compatible: should be one of:
"arm,arm1020"
"arm,arm1020e"
"arm,arm1022"
"arm,arm1026"
"arm,arm720"
"arm,arm740"
================================
Convention used in this document
================================
This document follows the conventions described in the ePAPR v1.1, with
the addition:
- square brackets define bitfields, eg reg[7:0] value of the bitfield in
the reg property contained in bits 7 down to 0
=====================================
cpus and cpu node bindings definition
=====================================
The ARM architecture, in accordance with the ePAPR, requires the cpus and cpu
nodes to be present and contain the properties described below.
- cpus node
Description: Container of cpu nodes
The node name must be "cpus".
A cpus node must define the following properties:
- #address-cells
Usage: required
Value type: <u32>
Definition depends on ARM architecture version and
configuration:
# On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
value must be 1, to enable a simple enumeration
scheme for processors that do not have a HW CPU
identification register.
# On 32-bit ARM 11 MPcore, ARM v7 or later systems
value must be 1, that corresponds to CPUID/MPIDR
registers sizes.
# On ARM v8 64-bit systems value should be set to 2,
that corresponds to the MPIDR_EL1 register size.
If MPIDR_EL1[63:32] value is equal to 0 on all CPUs
in the system, #address-cells can be set to 1, since
MPIDR_EL1[63:32] bits are not used for CPUs
identification.
- #size-cells
Usage: required
Value type: <u32>
Definition: must be set to 0
- cpu node
Description: Describes a CPU in an ARM based system
PROPERTIES
- device_type
Usage: required
Value type: <string>
Definition: must be "cpu"
- reg
Usage and definition depend on ARM architecture version and
configuration:
# On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
this property is required and must be set to 0.
# On ARM 11 MPcore based systems this property is
required and matches the CPUID[11:0] register bits.
Bits [11:0] in the reg cell must be set to
bits [11:0] in CPU ID register.
All other bits in the reg cell must be set to 0.
# On 32-bit ARM v7 or later systems this property is
required and matches the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register
bits.
Bits [23:0] in the reg cell must be set to
bits [23:0] in MPIDR.
All other bits in the reg cell must be set to 0.
# On ARM v8 64-bit systems this property is required
and matches the MPIDR_EL1 register affinity bits.
* If cpus node's #address-cells property is set to 2
The first reg cell bits [7:0] must be set to
bits [39:32] of MPIDR_EL1.
The second reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to
bits [23:0] of MPIDR_EL1.
* If cpus node's #address-cells property is set to 1
The reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to bits [23:0]
of MPIDR_EL1.
All other bits in the reg cells must be set to 0.

- enable-method
Value type: <stringlist>
Usage and definition depend on ARM architecture version.
# On ARM v8 64-bit this property is required and must
be one of:
"spin-table"
"psci"
# On ARM 32-bit systems this property is optional.
Example:
- cpu-release-addr
Usage: required for systems that have an "enable-method"
property value of "spin-table".
Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
Definition:
# On ARM v8 64-bit systems must be a two cell
property identifying a 64-bit zero-initialised
memory location.
