i2c: mv64xxx: Document the newly introduced Armada XP A0 compatible
The first variants of Armada XP SoCs (A0 stepping) have issues related to the i2c controller which prevent to use the offload mechanism and lead to a kernel hang during boot. The commit introduces a new the compatible string marvell,mv78230-a0-i2c for the i2c controller.
