Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: arm: cpus: Add edac-enabled property

From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@...gutronix.de>

Some ARM Cortex CPUs like the A53, A57 and A72 have Error Detection And
Correction (EDAC) support on their L1 and L2 caches. This is implemented
in implementation defined registers, so usage of this functionality is
not safe in virtualized environments or when EL3 already uses these
registers. This patch adds a edac-enabled flag which can be explicitly
set when EDAC can be used.
