Update NVDEC bindings for Tegra234. This new engine version only has
two memory clients, but now requires three clocks, and as a bigger
change the engine loads firmware from a secure carveout configured by
the bootloader.

For the latter, we need to add a phandle to the memory controller
to query the location of this carveout, and several other properties
containing offsets into the firmware inside the carveout. These
properties are intended to be populated through a device tree overlay
configured at flashing time, so that the values correspond to the
flashed NVDEC firmware.

As the binding was getting large with many conditional properties,
also split the Tegra234 version out into a separate file.

- Split out into separate file to avoid complexity with
   conditionals etc.

I don't think DT is the place for describing your runtime loaded
firmware layout.

Rob

The way I see it, from the kernel's point of view it's not runtime loaded but a contract with the bootloader. Bootloader sets up hardware in a certain way the kernel doesn't otherwise know so the bootloader needs to tell the kernel how the hardware is set up.

The fact that the information is supplied through an overlay is accidental -- equivalently the bootloader that sets up the firmware could adjust the device tree like we do in other situations, but in this case an overlay is an easier implementation method.

Thanks,
Mikko
