[PATCH v3 4/6] dt-bindings: soc/fsl: qe: document new fsl,qe-snums binding

Reading table 4-30, and its footnotes, of the QUICC Engine Block
Reference Manual shows that the set of snum _values_ is not
necessarily just a function of the _number_ of snums, as given in the
fsl,qe-num-snums property.

As an alternative, to make it easier to add support for other variants
of the QUICC engine IP, this introduces a new binding fsl,qe-snums,
which automatically encodes both the number of snums and the actual
values to use.

Rob, thanks for the review of v2. However, since I moved the example
from the commit log to the binding (per Joakim's request), I didn't
add a Reviewed-by tag for this revision.
