dt-bindings: firmware: thead,th1520: Add support for firmware node

The kernel communicates with the E902 core through the mailbox
transport using AON firmware protocol. Add dt-bindings to document it
the dt node.

+title: T-HEAD TH1520 AON (Always-On) Firmware
+
+description: |
+  The Always-On (AON) subsystem in the TH1520 SoC is responsible for managing
+  low-power states, system wakeup events, and power management tasks. It is
+  designed to operate independently in a dedicated power domain, allowing it to
+  remain functional even during the SoC's deep sleep states.
+
+  At the heart of the AON subsystem is the E902, a low-power core that executes
+  firmware responsible for coordinating tasks such as power domain control,
+  clock management, and system wakeup signaling. Communication between the main
+  SoC and the AON subsystem is handled through a mailbox interface, which
+  enables message-based interactions with the AON firmware.
