Documentation: bindings: brcmstb: Document write-pairing

Document the hif-cpubiuctrl node a bit more, and add a documentation
entry for the optional "brcm,write-pairing" property.

hif-cpubiuctrl node
-------------------
SoCs with Broadcom Brahma15 ARM-based CPUs have a specific Bus Interface Unit
(BIU) block which controls and interfaces the CPU complex to the different
Memory Controller Ports (MCP), one per memory controller (MEMC). This BIU block
offers a feature called Write Pairing which consists in collapsing two adjacent
cache lines into a single (bursted) write transaction towards the memory
controller (MEMC) to maximize write bandwidth.
Required properties:
- compatible: must be "brcm,bcm7445-hif-cpubiuctrl", "syscon"
Optional properties:
- brcm,write-pairing:
Boolean property, which when present indicates that the chip
supports write-pairing.

rdb { rdb {
#address-cells = <1>; #address-cells = <1>;
