[PATCH v2 3/5] dt-bindings: memory: additional compatible strings for Broadcom DPFE

Add versioned compatible strings for Broadcom DPFE. These take the form
brcm,dpfe-cpu-v<N> where <N> is a number from 1 to 4.

The chip-specific strings have been kept for compatibility purposes
(hardware is in the field). For new chips, the properly versioned
compatible string should be used.

+
+  The DCPU (DDR PHY Front End CPU) interfaces directly with the DDR PHY
+  chip on Broadcom STB SoCs. An API exists for other agents to retrieve
+  or set certain DDR PHY chip parameters by JEDEC.
+
+  Different, incompatible versions of this API have been created over
+  time. The API has changed for the some chips as development progressed
+  and features were added or changed.
+
+  We rely on the boot firmware (which already knows the API version
+  required) to populate Device Tree with the corresponding compatible
+  string.
