[POWERPC] Update MTD OF documentation
This updates the Documentation/powerpc part of the MTD OF implementation with the new field probe-type. Its support has already been implemented in MTD part (drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c).

partition's offset from the start of the device and the second one is
partition size in bytes with LSB used to signify a read only
