Add documentation about new dts bindings following new support
for compatible "fsl,imx-audio-generic".

Some CPU DAI don't require a real audio codec. The new compatible
"fsl,imx-audio-generic" allows using the driver with codec drivers
SPDIF DIT and SPDIF DIR as dummy codecs.
It also allows using not pre-configured audio codecs which
don't require specific control through a codec driver.

The new dts properties give the possibility to set some parameters
about the CPU DAI usually set through the codec configuration.

That's right, "tdm-slot.txt" already defines TDM bindings, I will
use them with the utility function snd_soc_of_parse_tdm_slot().

simple-card defines similar properties at the dai level:
"system-clock-frequency" and "system-clock-direction-out".
The first is used if no "clocks" binding is specified for the dai node.

Maybe I could use a similar logic with fsl-asoc-card ?
* adding a "clock-cpu" phandle property which should be the cpu clock.
It will be used to retreive the frequency for both RX and TX.
* keeping "cpu-sysclk-freq-rx"/"cpu-sysclk-freq-tx", which are used if
no clock is provided, like "system-clock-frequency" in simple-card.
* keep using "cpu-sysclk-dir-rx-out"/"cpu-sysclk-dir-tx-out", like
"system-clock-direction-out" in simple card.

Also, maybe I could rename my new properties:
cpu-system-clock-frequency-tx, cpu-system-clock-direction-out-rx, ...
It would better match those in simple-card as they do the same thing.

Best regards,
