[PATCH v2 3/8] DT: clk: sunxi: add binding doc for the multi-bus-gates clock

Recent Allwinner SoCs introduced a bus gates clock which can have
different parents for individual gates.
For the time being we encoded this relation in the driver.
This commit specifies a new binding which allows to encode this in
the DT by using a child node for each parent clock used. This allows
to specify any kind of relation efficiently and also keeps the very
same kernel driver for all SoCs at the same time.
