powerpc: add SSI-to-DMA properties to Freescale MPC8610 HPCD device tree
Add the fsl,playback-dma and fsl,capture-dma properties to the Freescale MPC8610 HPCD device tree. These properties connect the SSI nodes to the DMA nodes for the DMA channels that the SSI should use. Also update the ssi.txt documentation. These properties will be needed when the ASoC V2 version of the Freescale MPC8610 device drivers are merged into the mainline.

+Notes on fsl,playback-dma and fsl,capture-dma:
+
+On SOCs that have an SSI, specific DMA channels are hard-wired for playback
+and capture. On the MPC8610, for example, SSI1 must use DMA channel 0 for
+playback and DMA channel 1 for capture. SSI2 must use DMA channel 2 for
+playback and DMA channel 3 for capture. The developer can choose which
+DMA controller to use, but the channels themselves are hard-wired. The
+purpose of these two properties is to represent this hardware design.
