This patch add dt bindings for Qualcomm APR (Asynchronous Packet Router)
bus driver. This bus is used for communicating with DSP which provides
audio and various other services to cpu.

This should probably go under bindings/sound/ as it is at least mostly
sound related.
There are other non audio dsp/modem services that will be using apr.

+Qualcomm APR (Asynchronous Packet Router) binding
+
+This binding describes the Qualcomm APR. APR is a IPC protocol for
+communication between Application processor and QDSP. APR is mainly
+used for audio/voice services on the QDSP.
+
+- compatible:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <stringlist>
+ Definition: must be "qcom,apr-v<VERSION-NUMBER>", example "qcom,apr-v2"
+
+- qcom,dest-domain-id
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>

If this is an array, what do the indexes of the array correspond to?

This should be
Value type: <u32>

these indexes point to the remote processor ID.

+ Definition: Destination processor ID.
+ Possible values are :
+ 1 - APR simulator
+ 2 - PC
+ 3 - MODEM
+ 4 - ADSP
+ 5 - APPS
+ 6 - MODEM2
+ 7 - APPS2
+
+= APR SERVICES
+Each subnode of the APR node represents service tied to this apr. The name
+of the nodes are not important. The properties of these nodes are defined
+by the individual bindings for the specific service
+- All APR services MUST contain the following property:
+
+- reg
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>

Not really an array, right?
No, again this is Value type: <u32>


+ Definition: APR Service ID
+ Possible values are :
+ 3 - DSP Core Service
+ 4 - Audio Front End Service.
+ 5 - Voice Stream Manager Service.
+ 6 - Voice processing manager.
+ 7 - Audio Stream Manager Service.
+ 8 - Audio Device Manager Service.
+ 9 - Multimode voice manager.
+ 10 - Core voice stream.
+ 11 - Core voice processor.
+ 12 - Ultrasound stream manager.
+ 13 - Listen stream manager.
+
+= EXAMPLE
+The following example represents a QDSP based sound card on a MSM8996 device
+which uses apr as communication between Apps and QDSP.
+
+ apr {
+ compatible = "qcom,apr-v2";
+ qcom,smd-channels = "apr_audio_svc";

Drop this?
Sure
