powerpc: document the "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible property
The "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible property is used to specify a DMA channel
on the Freescale Elo DMA controller that should be used exclusively by the
Freescale SSI audio controller. When a property is marked as such, the Elo
DMA driver will ignore it, and so it will be available for the sound drivers.
