Add device tree binding documentation for the Qualcom Shared Memory
manager.

Exposed by this node is a set of items of different sizes. For many things a
standard of_xlate method of referencing the individual nodes would be
preferable, so a #something-cells would make sense. We do however also needs
access to these items without explicitly stating the references in devicetree
(e.g. SMD references 257 of these). I haven't found any good example of how to
implement this, so suggestions are welcome.

Note that the hwspinlock reference is not yet supported in the mainline, but
this will likely need a few iterations so I wanted to get this out.

+Qualcomm Shared Memory binding
+
+This binding describes the Qualcomm Shared Memory, used to share data between
+various subsystems and OSes in Qualcomm platforms.
+
+- compatible:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <stringlist>
+	Definition: must be:
+		    "qcom,smem"
+
+- reg:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition: base address and size pair for each area representing the
+		    shared memory. The first pair will must represent the "main"
+		    area, where the shared memory header and table-of-content
+		    can be found.
+
+- hwspinlocks:
+	Usage: required
+	Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	Definition: reference to a hwspinlock used to protect allocations from
+		    the shared memory
+
+= EXAMPLE
+
+        smem: smem at fa00000 {
+                compatible = "qcom,smem";
+                reg = <0x0fa00000 0x200000>,
+                      <0xfc428000 0x4000>;
+
+                hwspinlocks = <&tcsr_mutex 3>;
