Document mips-cbr-reg and mips-broken-cbr-reg property.

Some SoC suffer from a BUG where read_c0_brcm_cbr() might return 0
if called from TP1. The CBR address is always the same on the SoC
hence it can be provided in DT to handle broken case where bootloader
doesn't init it or SMP where read_c0_brcm_cbr() returns 0 from TP1.

Usage of this property is to give an address also in these broken
configuration/bootloader.

If the SoC/Bootloader ALWAYS provide a broken CBR address the property
"mips-broken-cbr-reg" can be used to ignore any value already set in the
registers for CBR address.

Why is this property even needed, is it not sufficient to just add the
mips-cbr-reg property to the DT for SoCs that need it and use the
property when present?


I described this in the cover letter. CBR might be set by the Bootloader
and might be not 0. In that case the value is ignored as an extra
precaution and the broken propetry is needed.

Missing a vendor prefix.


I will change this to bmips,cbr-reg hope it's O.K.

brcm,bmips-cbr-reg please.
