[POWERPC] mpc5200 device tree bindings refinement
Much needed refinement of mpc5200 device tree binding specifications.
Short list:
- drop mpc52xx designator; only two supported chips exist, 5200 and 5200b.
It's premature to refer to them as '52xx'.
- Specify optional 'model' and 'revision' properties in the soc5200 node
- Specify reqiured 'cell-index' property to identify between multiple SOC
devices of the same type. (Useful for arbitrating shared register access)
- Specify optional 'port-number' property for adjusting the logical serial
port assignments.
- Specify optional 'has-wdt' property for gpt0 node.
- Add system-frequency property to soc5200 node

The split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP.

Shared registers +------------------- +Some SoC devices share registers between them. ie. the i2c devices use +a single clock control register, and almost all device are affected by +the port_config register. Devices which need to manipulate shared regs +should look to the parent SoC node. The soc node is responsible +for arbitrating all shared register access. |
