Use physmap_of to access RAMs as mtd and add documenation for it. This approach
is a lot less intrusive as adding an of-wrapper around plat-ram.c. As most
extensions of plat-ram.c (e.g. custom map-functions) can't be mapped to the
device tree anyhow, extending physmap_of seems to be the cleanest approach.

Tested with a phyCORE-MPC5121e.

Great, thanks a lot (and for your l2-tree in general!). One question: Are the
additional Acked-bys added later? I could think they might be useful for
David's review...

Kind regards,

Well, I do not bother maintaining nice history there, so rebase it
freely, which means I can add your ack. Will do tomorrow.
