dt-bindings: reserved-memory: Document iommu-addresses
This adds the "iommu-addresses" property to reserved-memory nodes, which allow describing the interaction of memory regions with IOMMUs. Two use- cases are supported: 1. Static mappings can be described by pairing the "iommu-addresses" property with a "reg" property. This is mostly useful for adopting firmware-allocated buffers via identity mappings. One common use- case where this is required is if early firmware or bootloaders have set up a bootsplash framebuffer that a display controller is actively scanning out from during the operating system boot process. 2. If an "iommu-addresses" property exists without a "reg" property, the reserved-memory node describes an IOVA reservation. Such memory regions are excluded from the IOVA space available to operating system drivers and can be used for regions that must not be used to map arbitrary buffers. Each mapping or reservation is tied to a specific device via a phandle to the device's device tree node. This allows a reserved-memory region to be reused across multiple devices.
