of: update ePAPR references to point to Devicetree Specification
The Devicetree Specification has superseded the ePAPR as the base specification for bindings. Update files in Documentation to reference the new document. First reference to ePAPR in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cci.txt is generic, remove it. Some files are not updated because there is no hypervisor chapter in the Devicetree Specification: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/powerpc/fsl/msi-pic.txt Documenation/virtual/kvm/api.txt Documenation/virtual/kvm/ppc-pv.txt Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com> Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
