Adds a device-tree binding for the ARM Cross Trigger Interface (CTI).
The ARM Cross Trigger Interface provides a way to route events between
processor modules. For example, on OMAP4430 we use the CTI module to
route PMU events to the GIC interrupt module.

+* ARM Cross Trigger Interface (CTI)
+
+The ARM Cross Trigger Interface provides a way to route events between
+processor modules. For example, debug events from one processor can be
+broadcasted to other processors. The events that can be routed between
+processors are specific to the device.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible:			Should be "arm,primecell".
+- interrupts:			Interrupt associated with CTI module.
+- reg:				Contains timer register address range (base
+				address and length).
+- arm,cti-name:			A unique name for the CTI module, that will be
+				used when requesting the CTI module instance.
+
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- arm-primecell-periphid:	Primecell peripheral ID associated with CTI
+				module.

For multi-cluster systems, I wouldn't be surprised to see multiple CTI
instances, each with different CPU affinities. Can we include an affinity
property following Mark's proposed binding?

Yes I can take a look. Would something like that be applicable to pmu as
well or is that unlikely to have different affinities? I am just
wondering if there is something that we should implement in general for
the various primecell components.
