powerpc/of-device-tree: Factor MTD physmap bindings out of booting-without-of
It's easier to find bindings descriptions in separate files. So factor out the MTD physmap bindings into a separate file to not clutter booting-without-of.txt more. Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

- Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state

- - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
- used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
- - reg : Address range of the flash chip
- - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank. Equal to the
- device width times the number of interleaved chips.
- - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip. If
- omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
- - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
- sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case
- both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
-
- For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties
- are defined:
-
- - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
- - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).
-
- In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the
- device tree may optionally contain additional information
- describing partitions of the flash address space. This can be
- used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
- portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
- use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.
-
- Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device.
- Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding
- partition of the flash device.
-
- Flash partitions
- - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
- - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
- If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
- the unit address).
- - read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
- Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted
- read-only. This is usually used for flash partitions
- containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not
- be clobbered.
