Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: qcom: readme: document preferred compatible naming

Compatibles can come in two formats.  Either "vendor,ip-soc" or
"vendor,soc-ip".  Qualcomm bindings were mixing both of usages, so add a
readme file documenting preferred policy.

+Qualcomm SoC compatibles naming convention
+==========================================
+1. When adding new compatibles in new bindings, use the format:
+   ::
+
+     qcom,SoC-IP
+
+   For example:
+   ::
+
+     qcom,sdm845-llcc-bwmon
+
+2. When adding new compatibles to existing bindings, use the format
+   in the existing binding, even if it contradicts the above.
