Add a devicetree description for property nodes for the NX Coprocessor
in an IBM PowerPC processor.

Is this the right location/naming for this file?
And did I get the content format right?
Should this file be called "ibm-nx-opal.txt" instead of "ibm-nx-powernv.txt",
since it's the Opal firmware that provides the nodes (although they are
used by the PowerNV platform kernel)?
The 842 properties are used by the PowerNV 842 driver patch set I
sent out yesterday, and which I'll send a v2 of soon.

+Device-tree bindings for PowerNV platform IBM Nest (NX) Coprocessor
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must contain "ibm,power-nx"; may also contain the processor
+ version, e.g. "ibm,power8-nx"
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- ibm,842-coprocessor-type: CT of this NX 842 coprocessor
+- ibm,842-coprocessor-instance: CI of this NX 842 coprocessor
+
+If present, the NX-842 Coprocessor Type (CT) and Coprocessor Instance (CI)
+can be used in an ICSWX instruction to communicate with the NX-842
+coprocessor, to perform hardware compression/decompression.
+
+Additionally, there must be an "ibm,chip-id" node at some point in the
+direct devicetree hierarchy leading to the nx node; typically the nx
+node's parent is an xscom node, which contains the "ibm,chip-id" property.
+
+Example:
+
+nx@2010000 {
+ compatible = "ibm,power-nx", "ibm,power8-nx";
+ ibm,842-coprocessor-type = <0x3>;
+ ibm,842-coprocessor-instance = <0x1>;
+ name = "nx";
+ reg = <0x2010000 0x4000>;
+ linux,phandle = <0x85>;
+ phandle = <0x85>;
+};
+
+with a parent of:
+
+xscom@3fc0000000000 {
+ ibm,chip-id = <0x0>;
+ nx@2010000;
+ ...
+};
