A new I3C subsystem has been added and a generic description has been
created to represent the I3C bus and the devices connected on it.
Document this generic representation.

+Generic device tree bindings for I3C busses
+===========================================
+
+This document describes generic bindings that should be used to describe I3C
+busses in a device tree.
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+
+- #address-cells - should be <1>. Read more about addresses below.
+- #size-cells - should be <0>.
+- compatible - name of I3C bus controller following generic names
+ recommended practice.
+
+For other required properties e.g. to describe register sets,
+clocks, etc. check the binding documentation of the specific driver.
+
+Optional properties
+-------------------
+
+These properties may not be supported by all I3C master drivers. Each I3C
+master bindings should specify which of them are supported.
+
+- i3c-scl-frequency: frequency (in Hz) of the SCL signal used for I3C
+ transfers. When undefined the core set it to 12.5MHz.
+
+- i2c-scl-frequency: frequency (in Hz) of the SCL signal used for I2C
+ transfers. When undefined, the core looks at LVR values
+ of I2C devices described in the device tree to determine
+ the maximum I2C frequency.
+
+I2C devices
+===========
+
+Each I2C device connected to the bus should be described in a subnode with
+the following properties:
+
+All properties described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c.txt are
+valid here.
+
+New required properties:
+------------------------
+- i3c-lvr: 32 bits integer property (only the lowest 8 bits are meaningful)
+ describing device capabilities as described in the I3C
+ specification.
+
+ bit[31:8]: unused
+ bit[7:5]: I2C device index. Possible values
+ * 0: I2C device has a 50 ns spike filter
+ * 1: I2C device does not have a 50 ns spike filter but supports high
+ frequency on SCL
+ * 2: I2C device does not have a 50 ns spike filter and is not
+ tolerant to high frequencies
+ * 3-7: reserved
+
+ bit[4]: tell whether the device operates in FM or FM+ mode
+ * 0: FM+ mode
+ * 1: FM mode
+
+ bit[3:0]: device type
+ * 0-15: reserved
+
+I3C devices
+===========
+
+I3C are not described in the device tree yet. We could decide to represent them
+at some point to assign a specific dynamic address to a device or to force an
+I3C device to act as an I2C device if it has a static address.
+
+Example:
+
+ i3c-master@0d040000 {
+ compatible = "cdns,i3c-master";
+ clocks = <&coreclock>, <&i3csysclock>;
+ clock-names = "pclk", "sysclk";
+ interrupts = <3 0>;
+ reg = <0x0d040000 0x1000>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ status = "okay";
+ i2c-scl-frequency = <100000>;
+
+ nunchuk: nunchuk@52 {
+ compatible = "nintendo,nunchuk";
+ reg = <0x52>;
+ i3c-lvr = <0x10>;
+ };
+ };
