Documentation: bindings: brcmstb: Document write-pairing
Document the hif-cpubiuctrl node a bit more, and add a documentation entry for the optional "brcm,write-pairing" property. Acked-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Acked-by: Gregory Fong <gregory.0xf0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>

+hif-cpubiuctrl node
+-------------------
+SoCs with Broadcom Brahma15 ARM-based CPUs have a specific Bus Interface Unit
+(BIU) block which controls and interfaces the CPU complex to the different
+Memory Controller Ports (MCP), one per memory controller (MEMC). This BIU block
+offers a feature called Write Pairing which consists in collapsing two adjacent
+cache lines into a single (bursted) write transaction towards the memory
+controller (MEMC) to maximize write bandwidth.
+
+Required properties:
+
+ - compatible: must be "brcm,bcm7445-hif-cpubiuctrl", "syscon"
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ - brcm,write-pairing:
+ Boolean property, which when present indicates that the chip
+ supports write-pairing.
