+NUMA binding description.
+==============================================================================
+
+==============================================================================
+1 - Introduction
+==============================================================================
+
+Systems employing a Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture contain
+collections of hardware resources including processors, memory, and I/O buses,
+that comprise what is commonly known as a NUMA node.
+Processor accesses to memory within the local NUMA node is generally faster
+than processor accesses to memory outside of the local NUMA node.
+DT defines interfaces that allow the platform to convey NUMA node
+topology information to OS.
+
+==============================================================================
+2 - arm,associativity
+==============================================================================
+The mapping is done using arm,associativity device property.
+this property needs to be present in every device node which needs to to be
+mapped to numa nodes.
+
+arm,associativity property is set of 32-bit integers which defines level of
+topology and boundary in the system at which a significant difference in
+performance can be measured between cross-device accesses within
+a single location and those spanning multiple locations.
+The first cell always contains the broadest subdivision within the system,
+while the last cell enumerates the individual devices, such as an SMT thread
+of a CPU, or a bus bridge within an SoC".
+
+ex:
+       /* board 0, socket 0, cluster 0, core 0  thread 0 */
+       arm,associativity = <0 0 0 0 0>;
+
+==============================================================================
+3 - arm,associativity-reference-points
+==============================================================================
+This property is a set of 32-bit integers, each representing an index into
+the arm,associativity nodes. The first integer is the most significant
+NUMA boundary and the following are progressively less significant boundaries.
+There can be more than one level of NUMA.
+
+Ex:
+       arm,associativity-reference-points = <0 1>;
+       The board Id(index 0) used first to calculate the associativity (node
+       distance), then follows the  socket id(index 1).
+
+       arm,associativity-reference-points = <1 0>;
+       The socket Id(index 1) used first to calculate the associativity,
+       then follows the board id(index 0).
+
+       arm,associativity-reference-points = <0>;
+       Only the board Id(index 0) used to calculate the associativity.
+
+       arm,associativity-reference-points = <1>;
+       Only socket Id(index 1) used to calculate the associativity.
+
+==============================================================================
+4 - Example dts
+==============================================================================
+
+Example: 2 Node system consists of 2 boards and each board having one socket
+and 8 core in each socket.
+
+       arm,associativity-reference-points = <0>;
