Documentation: devicetree: brcmstb_nand: add BCM63138 and Cygnus/iProc
Add notes to describe how some SoCs integrate this NAND core a little differently, and so we define extra compatibility strings and register resources/names. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>

+The NAND controller is integrated differently on the variety of SoCs on which it
+is found. Part of this integration involves providing status and enable bits
+with which to control the 8 exposed NAND interrupts, as well as hardware for
+configuring the endianness of the data bus. On some SoCs, these features are
+handled via standard, modular components (e.g., their interrupts look like a
+normal IRQ chip), but on others, they are controlled in unique and interesting
+ways, sometimes with registers that lump multiple NAND-related functions
+together. The former case can be described simply by the standard interrupts
+properties in the main controller node. But for the latter exceptional cases,
+we define additional 'compatible' properties and associated register resources within the NAND controller node above.
