[PATCH v2] ARM: at91: Document new TCB bindings

The current binding for the TCB is not flexible enough for some use cases
and prevents proper utilization of all the channels.

Changes in v2:
 - added slow_clk in the examples
 - removed linuxisms

Rob, does that fit what you wanted? I prefer getting your ack on that one before
resending a 48 patches series.
