Describe the DeviceTree node that exposes the Arm firmware-first
CPER provider and hook the file into MAINTAINERS so the
binding has an owner.

+description:
+  Arm Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) firmware can expose
+  a firmware-first CPER error source directly via DeviceTree. Firmware
+  provides the CPER Generic Error Status block and notifies the OS through
+  an interrupt.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: arm,ras-cper
+
+  memory-region:
+    minItems: 1
+    items:
+      - description:
+          CPER Generic Error Status block exposed by firmware.
+      - description:
+          Optional firmware-owned ack buffer used on platforms
+          where firmware needs an explicit "ack" handshake before overwriting
+          the CPER buffer. Firmware watches bit 0 and expects the OS to set it
+          once the current status block has been consumed.
+
+  interrupts:
+    maxItems: 1
+    description:
+      Interrupt used to signal that a new status record is ready.
