[PATCH v4 1/3] dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: Add binman compatible

[Simon Glass]

Add a compatible string for binman, so we can extend fixed-partitions
in various ways.

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg at chromium.org>
---

Changes in v4:
- Change subject line

Changes in v3:
- Drop fixed-partition additional compatible string
- Drop fixed-partitions from the example
- Mention use of compatible instead of label

Changes in v2:
- Drop mention of 'enhanced features' in fixed-partitions.yaml
- Mention Binman input and output properties
- Use plain partition at xxx for the node name

+description: |
+  The binman node provides a layout for firmware, used when packaging firmware
+  from multiple projects. It is based on fixed-partitions, with some
+  extensions, but uses 'compatible' to indicate the contents of the node, to
+  avoid perturbing or confusing existing installations which use 'label' for a
+  particular purpose.
+
+  Binman supports properties used as inputs to the firmware-packaging process,
+  such as those which control alignment of partitions. This binding addresses
+  these 'input' properties. For example, it is common for the 'reg' property
+  (an 'output' property) to be set by Binman, based on the alignment requested
+  in the input.
+
+  Once processing is complete, input properties have mostly served their
+  purpose, at least until the firmware is repacked later, e.g. due to a
+  firmware update. The 'fixed-partitions' binding should provide enough
+  information to read the firmware at runtime, including decompression if
+  needed.
+
+  Documentation for Binman is available at:
+
+  https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/package/binman.html
