[PATCH v4 1/5] Documentation: add DT bindings for ARM SCPI sensors

The System Control Processor (SCP) provides access to SoC sensors via
the System Control and Power Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol. Add
bindings to allow probing of these sensors. Also support referencing
of the sensors for setting up thermal zones via the thermal DT
bindings.

+Sensor bindings for the sensors based on SCPI Message Protocol
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+SCPI provides an API to access the various sensors on the SoC.

+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "arm,scpi-sensors".
+- #thermal-sensor-cells: should be set to 1. This property follows the
+			 thermal device tree bindings[2].
+
+			 Valid cell values are raw identifiers (Sensor
+			 ID) as used by the firmware. Refer to
+			 platform documentation for your
+			 implementation for the IDs to use. For Juno
+			 R0 and Juno R1 refer to [3].
