[PATCH v4 2/5] Documentation: Add memory mapped ARM architected timer binding

[sboyd@codeaurora.org (Stephen Boyd)]

Add a binding for the arm architected timer hardware's memory
mapped interface. The mmio timer hardware is made up of one base
frame and a collection of up to 8 timer frames, where each of the
8 timer frames can have either one or two views. A frame
typically maps to a privilege level (user/kernel, hypervisor,
secure). The first view has full access to the registers within a
frame, while the second view can be restricted to particular
registers within a frame. Each frame must support a physical
timer. It's optional for a frame to support a virtual timer.

+** Memory mapped timer node properties:
+
+- compatible : Should at least contain "arm,armv7-timer-mem".
+
+- clock-frequency : The frequency of the main counter, in Hz. Optional.
+
+- reg : The control frame base address.
+
+Note that #address-cells, #size-cells, and ranges shall be present to ensure
+the CPU can address a frame's registers.
+
+A timer node has up to 8 frame sub-nodes, each with the following properties:
+
+- frame-number: 0 to 7.
+
+- interrupts : Interrupt list for physical and virtual timers in that order.
+  The virtual timer interrupt is optional.
+
+- reg : The first and second view base addresses in that order. The second view
+  base address is optional.
+
+- status : "disabled" indicates the frame is not available for use. Optional.
+
+Example:
+
+	timer at f0000000 {
+		compatible = "arm,armv7-timer-mem";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <1>;
