[PATCH v4 2/3] Documentation: devicetree: Add new binding for PSCIv0.2

From: Ashwin Chaugule <hidden>
Date: 2014-03-31 15:02:58
Subsystem: open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest · Maintainers: Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds

The PSCI v0.2+ spec defines standard values for PSCI function IDs.
Add a new binding entry so that pre v0.2 implementations can
use DT entries for function IDs and v0.2+ implementations use
standard entries as defined by the PSCIv0.2 specification.
