[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: iommu: arm,smmu: Document optional interconnects property

Some SoC implementations require a bandwidth vote on an interconnect
path before the SMMU register space is accessible. Add the optional
'interconnects' property to the binding to allow platform DT nodes
to describe this path.

The arm-smmu driver uses these properties to vote for bandwidth before
accessing any SMMU registers and releases the vote on runtime suspend.
