Documentation: bindings: brcmstb: Document write-pairing

Document the hif-cpubiuctrl node a bit more, and add a documentation
entry for the optional "brcm,write-pairing" property.

+hif-cpubiuctrl node
+-------------------
+SoCs with Broadcom Brahma15 ARM-based CPUs have a specific Bus Interface Unit
+(BIU) block which controls and interfaces the CPU complex to the different
+Memory Controller Ports (MCP), one per memory controller (MEMC). This BIU block
+offers a feature called Write Pairing which consists in collapsing two adjacent
+cache lines into a single (bursted) write transaction towards the memory
+controller (MEMC) to maximize write bandwidth.
+
+Required properties:
+
+    - compatible: must be "brcm,bcm7445-hif-cpubiuctrl", "syscon"
+
+Optional properties:
+
+    - brcm,write-pairing:
+	Boolean property, which when present indicates that the chip
+	supports write-pairing.
