[PATCH 2/6] dt-bindings: firmware: arm, scmi: Add atomic_threshold optional property

SCMI protocols in the platform can optionally signal to the OSPM agent
the expected execution latency for a specific resource/operation pair.

Introduce an SCMI system wide optional property to describe a global time
threshold which can be configured on a per-platform base to determine the
opportunity, or not, for an SCMI command advertised to have a higher
latency than the threshold, to be considered for atomic operations:
high-latency SCMI synchronous commands should be preferably issued in the
usual non-atomic mode.
