[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: Amlogic: add documentation for the SoC info register areas

There are three register areas which contain information about the SoC
version and revision:
- the assist registers contain the SoC's "major version" which encodes
  the SoC generation and part number. this is available on Meson6,
  Meson8 and Meson8b SoCs.
- the bootrom register contains at least the SoCs "misc version". this
  is avilable on Meson6, Meson8 and Meson8b
- the analog top registers contain information about the SoC revision.
  this is only available on Meson8 and Meson8b

Not much else is currently known about these registers.

+Amlogic Meson8 and Meson8b "analog top" registers:
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The analog top registers contain information about the so-called
+"metal revision" (which encodes the "minor version") of the SoC.
+
+Required properties:
+- reg: the register range of the analog top registers
+- compatible: depending on the SoC this should be one of:
+		- "amlogic,meson8-analog-top"
+		- "amlogic,meson8b-analog-top"
+		along with "syscon"
+
+
+Example:
+
+	analog_top: analog-top at 81a8 {
+		compatible = "amlogic,meson8-analog-top", "syscon";
+		reg = <0x81a8 0x14>;
+	};

+Amlogic Meson6/Meson8/Meson8b assist registers:
+-----------------------------------------------

+The assist registers contain basic information about the SoC,

+Required properties:
+- reg: the register range of the assist registers

+The bootrom register area can be used to access SoC specific

+- reg: the register range of the bootrom registers
