Device tree node for system parameters accessible through the Get/Set System Parameters calls OPAL_GET_PARAM and OPAL_SET_PARAM.

While many systems and platforms will support parameters and configuration via either nvram or over IPMI, some platforms may have parameters that need to be set a different way.

Some parameters may be set Read Only, so the param-perm property indicates permissions.

Currently, this is only something that exists on FSP based systems.
