[PATCH v4 2/4] dt-bindings: soc: spacemit: Add K1 MBUS controller

Some devices on the SpacemiT K1 SoC perform DMA through a memory bus
(MBUS) that is not their immediate parent in the device tree. This bus
uses a different address mapping than the CPU.

To express this topology properly, devices are expected to use the
interconnects with name "dma-mem" to reference the MBUS controller.

+description: |
+  On the SpacemiT K1 SoC, some devices do not perform DMA through their
+  immediate parent node in the device tree. Instead, they access memory
+  through a separate memory bus (MBUS) that uses a different address
+  mapping from the CPU.
+
+  To correctly describe the DMA path, such devices must reference the MBUS
+  controller through an interconnect with the reserved name "dma-mem".
