Existing SROMC bindings document is small so one document for everything
should be sufficient. This can be always split if new type of devices
will be using SROMC (BTW, do you know of any other devices using SROMC
on Exynos?).

Putting srom properties in separate bank node would be good also but
then some mapping (connection) between ethernet and bank should be added
probably...
