The Command Queue Virtualization (CMDQV) hardware is part of the
SMMUv3 implementation on NVIDIA Tegra SoCs. It assists in
virtualizing the command queue for the SMMU.

Add a new device tree binding document for nvidia,tegra264-cmdqv.

Also update the arm,smmu-v3 binding to include an optional nvidia,cmdqv
property. This property is a phandle to the CMDQV device node, allowing
the SMMU driver to associate with its corresponding CMDQV instance.
Restrict this property usage to Nvidia Tegra264 only.

So I believe that this is a generic example for arm,smmu-v3, and so I am not sure we want to be adding all these NVIDIA specific bits here. What would be more appropriate is to add another example under the existing example specifically for Tegra264.
