I tried to create a first draft of the deveice tree for MPC5554. It is
compilable with dtc. I based this .dts file on Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 and
Table 1-2 on page 1-21 of http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/MPC5553_MPC5554_RM.pdf .

I'm not sure about the following points:
1. Where should be the on-chip FLASH described? This memory is read-only from
   view of software and can be used to store read-only data or execute code directly
   from there.

2. Should the co-processor (eTPU in this case) also listed in section "cpus"
   or not? This co-processor is not able to run code like the e200z6.

3. There are three on-chip buses on MPC5554:
   - Crossbar Switch (XBAR)
   - Peripheral Bridge A (PBRIDGE_A)
   - Peripheral Bridge B (PBRIDGE_B)
   I used PBRIDGE_A and PRIDGE_B to create two /soc<SOCname> entries. Is this possible?

4. There are modules which have multiple instances at different base addresses. These
   are DSPI, SCI and FlexCAN. I used the same name for them but with different addresses.
   Is this correct?
