mtd: maps: add mtd-ram support to physmap_of

Use physmap_of to access RAMs as mtd and add documenation for it. This approach
is a lot less intrusive as adding an of-wrapper around plat-ram.c. As most
extensions of plat-ram.c (e.g. custom map-functions) can't be mapped to the
device tree anyhow, extending physmap_of seems to be the cleanest approach.

Tested with a phyCORE-MPC5121e.

CFI or JEDEC memory-mapped NOR flash, MTD-RAM (NVRAM...)
Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state
file systems on embedded devices.
- compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
- reg : Address range(s) of the flash chip(s)

used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash", "jedec-flash"
or "mtd-ram".
- reg : Address range(s) of the mtd chip(s)
It's possible to (optionally) define multiple "reg" tuples so that
non-identical NOR chips can be described in one flash node.
- bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank. Equal to the
non-identical chips can be described in one node.
