[PATCH] powerpc: FSL UPM NAND bindings, add read-fetch-delay property

This patch adds the binding for the property "read-fetch-delay" to the
sub-nodes of the "fsl,upm-nand" compatible nodes. It will be used by a
patch extending the support of the FSL UPM NAND driver for the TQM8548
modules, which do not have the R/B pin of the NAND chip connected.
Furthermore it documents the missing FLASH partition bindings.

As soon as this new binding is accepted, I going to send the patch for
the FSL UPM NAND driver to the MTD mailing list. An old version can be
found here:

TIA.

Wolfgang.

+NAND flash partition properties:
+- reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
+- label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition. If

+- read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
+  Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted read-only.
+  This is usually used for flash partitions containing early-boot
+  firmware images or data which should not be clobbered.
