[POWERPC] Document local bus nodes in the device tree, and update cuboot-pq2.
The localbus node is used to describe devices that are connected via a chip select or similar mechanism. The advantages over placing the devices under the root node are that it can be probed without probing other random things under the root, and that the description of which chip select a given device uses can be used to set up mappings if the firmware failed to do so in a useful manner. cuboot-pq2 is updated to match the binding; previously, it called itself chipselect rather than localbus, and used phandle linkage between the actual bus node and the control node (the current agreement is to simply use the fully-qualified address of the control registers, and ignore the overlap with the IMMR node).

+ Properties:
+ - name : Should be localbus
+ - #address-cells : Should be either two or three. The first cell is the
+ chipselect number, and the remaining cells are the
+ offset into the chipselect.
+ - #size-cells : Either one or two, depending on how large each chipselect
+ can be.
+ - ranges : Each range corresponds to a single chipselect, and cover
+ the entire access window as configured.

+ Example:

+ "fsl,mpc8272-localbus",
