Add documentation for new optional properties in the exynos bus nodes:
samsung,interconnect-parent, #interconnect-cells, bus-width.
These properties allow to specify the SoC interconnect structure which
then allows the interconnect consumer devices to request specific
bandwidth requirements.

Adding vendor specific properties for a common binding defeats the 
point.
Actually we could do without any new property if we used existing interconnect
consumers binding to specify linking between the provider nodes. I think those
exynos-bus nodes could well be considered both the interconnect providers 
and consumers. The example would then be something along the lines 
(yes, I know the bus node naming needs to be fixed):

	soc {
		bus_dmc: bus_dmc {
			compatible = "samsung,exynos-bus";
			/* ... */
			samsung,data-clock-ratio = <4>;
			#interconnect-cells = <0>;
		};

		bus_leftbus: bus_leftbus {
			compatible = "samsung,exynos-bus";
			/* ... */
			interconnects = <&bus_leftbus &bus_dmc>;
			#interconnect-cells = <0>;
		};

		bus_display: bus_display {
			compatible = "samsung,exynos-bus";
			/* ... */
			interconnects = <&bus_display &bus_leftbus>;
			#interconnect-cells = <0>;
		};


		&mixer {
			compatible = "samsung,exynos4212-mixer";
			interconnects = <&bus_display &bus_dmc>;
			/* ... */
		};
	};

What do you think, Georgi, Rob?
