[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: soc: ti: Document the ti,tda54-mcu-scm-conf binding

TDA54's MCU domain exposes a shared scm_conf syscon region that other
peripherals, including chipid, access into rather than owning a
dedicated register window. Rather than a bare fallback entry in the
generic syscon compatible list, give it a dedicated binding
describing the region and the proxy/claim/lock arbitration scheme
that gates write access to a subset of its registers.

Some of the claimable registers are gate clock controls, so also
document the required "#clock-cells" property that lets the node be
referenced directly as a clock provider for those gates. The clock
specifier selects the ePWM time-base gate by instance number.

+description: |
+  The TDA54 SoC's MCU domain exposes a System Control Module configuration
+  register region (scm_conf) containing miscellaneous control and status
+  registers for MCU domain peripherals, including the JTAGID/device
+  identification registers, boot configuration and status registers, and
+  device feature registers.
+
+  A subset of these registers is write-protected by a proxy/claim scheme:
+  each register is mirrored across 8 proxy regions, and a host must unlock
+  via LOCK_KICK. Any proxy other than proxy-0 must also claim a register
+  through its CLAIM register before writing through that proxy. Proxy-0 is
+  the default access proxy: its claim bits are tied low, so it needs no
+  claim and can write any register that is not claimed by another proxy.
+  For example: Proxy0's CLAIM0 register sits at offset 0x3100, while the
+  same register mirrored at ProxyN sits at N * 0x4000 + 0x3100.
+
+  Each of the 8 proxy regions also has its own fault status and
+  interrupt registers, but a fault can only be handled through proxy-0.
+  Hence, interrupt/fault handling is not described by this binding.
+
+  Some of the claimable registers are gate clock controls (e.g. the
+  ehrpwm_tbclk gates). This node is the clock provider for those gates;
+  writes to them are still routed through the proxy claim scheme described
+  above.
