dt-bindings: mailbox: Add Tegra HSP binding
Add DT binding for the Hardware Synchronization Primitives (HSP). The
HSP is designed for the processors to share resources and communicate
with one another. A set of hardware synchronization primitives for
interprocessor communication (IPC) is provided. IPC protocols can use
use these hardware synchronization primitives when operating between
processors in an AMP configuration.
