Sorry for waiting. I was in holidays.

I'll add more documentation about the external system for more clarity [1].

Basically, Linux runs on the Cortex-A35. The External system is a
Cortex-M core. The Cortex-A35 can not access the memory of the Cortex-M.
It can only control Cortex-M core using the reset control and status registers mapped
in the memory space of the Cortex-A35.

I'll make sure this explanation is added to the binding and commit log for
more clarity.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding supporting multiple instances of the
External system. I will send a new version shortly addressing all comments.

Kind regards
Abdellatif
