Add binding document for Broadcom BCM23550 SoC.
BCM23550 has a Cluster Dormant Control IP block that holds cores
in an idle state. Introduce a new CPU enable method in which the CDC is
accessed to bring the core online.

+Broadcom Kona Family CPU Enable Method
+--------------------------------------
+This binding defines the enable method used for starting secondary
+CPUs in the following Broadcom SoCs:
+ BCM23550
+
+The enable method is specified by defining the following required
+properties in the "cpu" device tree node:
+ - enable-method = "brcm,bcm23550-cpu-method";
+ - secondary-boot-reg = <...>;
+
+The secondary-boot-reg property is a u32 value that specifies the
+physical address of the register used to request the ROM holding pen
+code release a secondary CPU. The value written to the register is
+formed by encoding the target CPU id into the low bits of the
+physical start address it should jump to.
+
+Example:
+ cpus {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ cpu0: cpu at 0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
+ reg = <0>;
+ };
+
+ cpu1: cpu at 1 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
+ reg = <1>;
+ enable-method = "brcm,bcm23550-cpu-method";
+ secondary-boot-reg = <0x3500417c>;
+ };
+ };
