the ti,sci-dev-id is the device ID of the ring accelerator which is
needed for the resource management implemented in sysfw.

This is based on how the ti,sci-inta binding has defined it:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/ti,sci-inta.txt

I'll update the document to make it clear.
