[PATCH v2 5/9] dt-bindings: timer: add Andes machine timer

Add the DT binding documentation for Andes machine timer.

The RISC-V architecture defines a machine timer that provides a real-time
counter and generates timer interrupts. Andes machiner timer (PLMT0) is
the implementation of the machine timer, and it contains memory-mapped
registers (mtime and mtimecmp). This device supports up to 32 cores.

+title: Andes machine-level timer
+
+description:
+  The Andes machine-level timer device (PLMT0) provides machine-level timer
+  functionality for a set of HARTs on a RISC-V platform. It has a single
+  fixed-frequency monotonic time counter (MTIME) register and a time compare
+  register (MTIMECMP) for each HART connected to the PLMT0. A timer interrupt is
+  generated if MTIME >= MTIMECMP.
