[RFC v2 PATCH 1/3] dt: device tree bindings for DDR memories

device tree bindings for DDR SDRAM memories compliant
to JEDEC standards. Currently only DDR3 and LPDDR2 have
been considered for this binding. Properties for other
memory types(DDR2 etc) could be added to this binding
on a need-basis.

The 'ddr' binding in-turn uses another binding 'ddr-timings'
for specifying the AC timing parameters of the memory device
at different speed-bins.

+* DDR SDRAM memories compliant to JEDEC specifications JESD209-2(LPDDR2)
+  or JESD79-3(DDR3).
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be one of - "jedec,ddr3", "jedec,lpddr2-nvm",
+  "jedec,lpddr2-s2", "jedec,lpddr2-s4"
+
+  "ti,jedec-ddr3" should be listed if the memory part is DDR3 type
+
+  "ti,jedec-lpddr2-s2" should be listed if the memory part is LPDDR2-S2 type
+
+  "ti,jedec-lpddr2-s4" should be listed if the memory part is LPDDR2-S4 type
+
+  "ti,jedec-lpddr2-nvm" should be listed if the memory part is LPDDR2-NVM type
+
+- density  : string representing the density of the device in terms of
+  Mb (mega bits). Following are the allowed values: "64Mb", "128Mb",
+  "256Mb", "512Mb", "1Gb", "2Gb", "4Gb", "8Gb", "16Gb", or "32Gb"
+
+- io-width : string representing the io width: "x8", "x16" or "x32".
+
+Optional properties:
+
+The following optional properties represent the minimum value of some AC
+timing parameters of the DDR device in terms of number of clock cycles.
+These values shall be obtained from the device data-sheet.
+
+The suffix nCK indicates that the unit for these parameters is number
+of DDR clock cycles. Note: In LPDDR2 spec and data-sheets tCK is used
+inter-changeably for nCK. Both are equivalent in this context.

+- tXS-min-nCK		/* DDR3 only */
+
+Child nodes:
+- The ddr node may have one or more child nodes of type "ddr-timings".
+  "ddr-timings" provides AC timing parameters of the device for
+  a given speed-bin. The user may provide the timings for as many
+  speed-bins as is required. Please see Documentation/devicetree/
+  bindings/ddr/ddr-timings.txt for more information on "ddr-timings"
