ARM: 8484/1: Documentation: l2c2x0: Mention separate controllers explicitly

Browse Source 
The documentation in l2c2x0.txt is only valid for L2C210/L2C220/L2C310
(also known as PL210/PL220/PL310 and variants). Mention this explicitly.
And add a note why this isn't valid for integrated L2 controllers.

* ARM L2 Cache Controller
ARM cores often have a separate level 2 cache controller. There are various
implementations of the L2 cache controller with compatible programming models.
ARM cores often have a separate L2C210/L2C220/L2C310 (also known as PL210/PL220/
PL310 and variants) based level 2 cache controller. All these various implementations
of the L2 cache controller have compatible programming models (Note 1).
Some of the properties that are just prefixed "cache-*" are taken from section
3.7.3 of the ePAPR v1.1 specification which can be found at:

Note 1: The description in this document doesn't apply to integrated L2
cache controllers as found in e.g. Cortex-A15/A7/A57/A53. These
integrated L2 controllers are assumed to be all preconfigured by
early secure boot code. Thus no need to deal with their configuration
in the kernel at all.
