For Tegra132 and later chips, we can now use the correct hardware base
address for the Tegra AHB IP block in the DT data.  Update the DT binding
documentation to reflect this change.

A table-based approach rather than prose might make this more legible?

- compatible: Must contain the following:
   Tegra20:  "nvidia,tegra20-ahb"
   Tegra30:  "nvidia,tegra30-ahb"
   Tegra114: "nvidia,tegra114-ahb", "nvidia,tegra30-ahb"
   Tegra124: "nvidia,tegra124-ahb", "nvidia,tegra30-ahb"
   Tegra132: "nvidia,tegra132-ahb"
   Tegra210: "nvidia,tegra210-ahb", "nvidia,tegra132-ahb"

With any luck, we can extend that final item for future chips to be:

   Tegra210, TegraNNN:
             "nvidia,tegra<chip>-ahb", "nvidia,tegra132-ahb"

Perhaps we format the 114/124 entry that way too.

I think I'm just going to drop this patch, since Russell prefers that the
workaround is applied in the driver.

With regards to using tables rather than narrative descriptions: perhaps
consider a patch to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt ?  I don't know
what the DT binding documentation maintainers' future plans are with
regards to automated documentation reflow, etc., but submitting a patch
there would stimulate at least some coordination on the issue.

I don't think it's appropriate for that file to dictate that, in the same way that coding style documentation generally doesn't address that kind of detail regarding code structure. Rather, the code review process hopefully homes in on the best representation case-by-case. A table seems more succinct and unambiguous in this case. Most DT bindings don't need to specify this level of detail since there aren't so many inconsistent options; the generic rules apply.
