Document brcm,bmips-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.

Pretty sure that Rob commented last time that there's no definition
anywhere here of CBR, but I don't see either a response to him or an
explanation in v3 as to what CBR means.


Sorry I missed it.

FWIW, CBR mean Core Base Register. It is accessed via co-processor 0, register 22, selector 6 using the MIPS processor's way of adding custom co-processor registers.
