mfd: syscon: Add Atmel GPBR DT bindings documention
The GPBR block provides a set of battery-backed registers that can be used to save data which need to be kept when the system is powered down and VDD-core is maintained by an external battery. A typical usage is the RTT block (when used as an RTC) which needs one of those registers to save the current time.

+* Device tree bindings for Atmel GPBR (General Purpose Backup Registers)
+
+The GPBR are a set of battery-backed registers.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "atmel,at91sam9260-gpbr", "syscon"
+- reg: contains offset/length value of the GPBR memory
+ region.
+
+Example:
+
+gpbr: gpbr@fffffd50 {
+ compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-gpbr", "syscon";
+ reg = <0xfffffd50 0x10>;
+};
