Documentation: devicetree: brcmstb_nand: add BCM63138 and Cygnus/iProc

Add notes to describe how some SoCs integrate this NAND core a little
differently, and so we define extra compatibility strings and register
resources/names.

-- Additonal SoC-specific NAND controller properties --
The NAND controller is integrated differently on the variety of SoCs on which it
is found. Part of this integration involves providing status and enable bits
with which to control the 8 exposed NAND interrupts, as well as hardware for
configuring the endianness of the data bus. On some SoCs, these features are
handled via standard, modular components (e.g., their interrupts look like a
normal IRQ chip), but on others, they are controlled in unique and interesting
ways, sometimes with registers that lump multiple NAND-related functions
together. The former case can be described simply by the standard interrupts
properties in the main controller node. But for the latter exceptional cases,
we define additional 'compatible' properties and associated register resources within the NAND controller node above.
- compatible: Can be one of several SoC-specific strings. Each SoC may have
different requirements for its additional properties, as described below each
bullet point below.
* "brcm,nand-bcm63138"
- reg: (required) the 'NAND_INT_BASE' register range, with separate status
and enable registers
- reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
* "brcm,nand-iproc"
- reg: (required) the "IDM" register range, for interrupt enable and APB
bus access endianness configuration, and the "EXT" register range,
for interrupt status/ack.
- reg-names: (required) a list of the names corresponding to the previous
register ranges. Should contain "iproc-idm" and "iproc-ext".
