regmap: Add the DT binding documentation for endianness
Device-Tree binding for device endianness
Index Device Endianness properties
---------------------------------------------------
1 BE 'big-endian'
2 LE 'little-endian'
For one device driver, which will run in different scenarios above
on different SoCs using the devicetree, we need one way to simplify
this.
