Subject: [PATCH v2 01/18] dt-bindings: ARM SPE: highlight the need for PPI partitions on heterogeneous systems

From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@....com>

It's not entirely clear for the binding document that the only way to
express ARM SPE affined to a subset of CPUs on a heterogeneous systems
is through the use of PPI partitions available in the interrupt
controller bindings.

Let's make it clear.
