The bindings for CPU enable methods are defined in ".../arm/cpus.txt". As
additional 32-bit ARM CPUS are converted to use the "enable-method" CPU
property to imply a particular set of SMP operations to use, the list of these
methods is likely to become unwieldy. The current documentation already
contains several property descriptions that are meaningful only for certain
enable methods.
This patch defines a new Documentation subdirectory whose purpose is to give
each CPU enable method its own place to define how and when it's used, as
well as what other properties (optional or required) are associated with
the method. The existing enable method documentation is expanded and moved
from ".../arm/cpus.txt" into new files accordingly.

v3: - Got rid of contrived examples.
- Identified some compatible CPUs more generically (e.g. using
"Any AArch64 CPU") rather than using only specific compatible
string values.
- Fixed and reworded the "psci" description (without incorporating
"arm/psci.txt").
- Now provide a more real example for the "spin-table" method.
v2: - Rename "arm,psci.txt" to be "psci.txt" and fix its content.

+==========================
+CPU enable-method bindings
+==========================
+
+The device tree describes the layout of CPUs in a machine in a single "cpus"
+node, which in turn contains a number of "cpu" sub-nodes defining properties
+for each cpu.
+
+For multiprocessing configurations, CPU cores can be individually enabled
+and disabled. The enabling capability is used for SMP startup as well as
+CPU hotplug. A CPU enable method--normally specified in the device tree
+using an "enable-method" property--defines how cores are enabled. If all
+CPUs in a machine use the same enable method and related property values,
+these properties should be defined in the "cpus" node, which associates the
+property values with all CPUs. Alternatively, every "cpu" node can define
+its "enable-method" separately.
+
+Documents in this directory define how each of the CPU enable methods are to
+be used, as well the names and possible values of related properties that
+are required by or affect each enable method.

+================================
+CPU enable-method "psci" binding
+================================
+
+This document describes the "psci" method for enabling secondary CPUs.
+Unlike most secondary CPU enable methods, this method is not defined
+by properties in CPU-related device tree nodes. Instead, a "psci"
+node[1] that includes a "cpu_on" property defines how secondary CPUs
+are enabled.
+
+Enable method name: "psci"
+Compatible cpus: 32- or 64-bit ARM architectures, including
+ Cortex-A7, Cortex-A15, Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57
+ as well as AEM.
+Related properties: (none)
+
+Example:
+
+ psci {
+ compatible = "arm,psci";
+ method = "smc";
+ cpu_on = <0x1>;
+ };
+ cpus {
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+
+ cpu@0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a57";
+ reg = <0x0 0x0>;
+ };
+

+ device_type = "cpu";
