Document the PowerPC specific 'sleep' property as a schema. It is
currently only documented in booting-without-of.rst which is getting
removed.

+description: |
+  Devices on SOCs often have mechanisms for placing devices into low-power
+  states that are decoupled from the devices' own register blocks.  Sometimes,
+  this information is more complicated than a cell-index property can
+  reasonably describe.  Thus, each device controlled in such a manner
+  may contain a "sleep" property which describes these connections.
+
+  The sleep property consists of one or more sleep resources, each of
+  which consists of a phandle to a sleep controller, followed by a
+  controller-specific sleep specifier of zero or more cells.
+
+  The semantics of what type of low power modes are possible are defined
+  by the sleep controller.  Some examples of the types of low power modes
+  that may be supported are:
+
+   - Dynamic: The device may be disabled or enabled at any time.
+   - System Suspend: The device may request to be disabled or remain
+     awake during system suspend, but will not be disabled until then.
+   - Permanent: The device is disabled permanently (until the next hard
+     reset).
+
+  Some devices may share a clock domain with each other, such that they should
+  only be suspended when none of the devices are in use.  Where reasonable,
+  such nodes should be placed on a virtual bus, where the bus has the sleep
+  property.  If the clock domain is shared among devices that cannot be
+  reasonably grouped in this manner, then create a virtual sleep controller
+  (similar to an interrupt nexus, except that defining a standardized
+  sleep-map should wait until its necessity is demonstrated).
