Add binding documentation for the Tegra ACONNECT bus that is part of the Audio Processing Engine (APE) on Tegra210. The ACONNECT bus is used to access devices within the APE subsystem. The APE is located in a separate power domain and so accesses made to the ACONNECT require the power domain to be enabled as well as some platform specific clocks.

+- ranges: 1:1 mapping of the aconnect address space to the CPU address space.Why 1:1 for 256KB of address space?No good reason. I have looking at what we did for host1x and ahub which also have a ranges property and use a 1:1 mapping. For ahub this makes sense because it is more of a cross-bar/switch. The aconnect bus is also a switch and thought may be that is the easiest thing to do. What is recommended here?
Use of non-empty ranges is preferred though there is not much benefit if the parent and child sizes are the same. However, it does also limit what is a valid address for those child nodes. Rob
