Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] dt-bindings: Add RISC-V misaligned access performance

From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@...osinc.com>

This key allows device trees to specify the performance of misaligned
accesses to main memory regions from each CPU in the system.

+      Identifies the performance of misaligned memory accesses to main memory
+      regions.  There are three flavors of unaligned access performance: "emulated"
+      means that misaligned accesses are emulated via software and thus
+      extremely slow, "slow" means that misaligned accesses are supported by
+      hardware but still slower that aligned accesses sequences, and "fast"
+      means that misaligned accesses are as fast or faster than the
+      cooresponding aligned accesses sequences.
