Subject: [PATCH v3] dt-bindings: arm: keystone: add boot_* mboxes to ti,sci

The bootloader on K3 devices makes use of mailboxes as per the ROM spec
which might be different than one's available to the kernel (firmware
spec).

Therefore, this patch adds the missing mailbox entries to the DT binding
to represent the mailboxes exposed by the hardware during boot for the
purpose of loading the firmware.
