Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] dt-bindings: mtd: qcom_nandc: document qcom,boot-partitions binding

Document new qcom,boot-partition binding used to apply special
read/write layout to boot partitions.

QCOM apply a special layout where spare data is not protected
by ECC for some special pages (used for boot partition). Add
Documentation on how to declare these special pages.
