[PATCH] dt-bindings: net: ti,davinci-emac: Convert to DT schema

[Bhargav Joshi]

Convert Texas Instruments DaVinci EMAC binding from text to DT schema.

Changes from the original binding:
- Add clocks, clock-names, syscon, power-domains, and ti,hwmods
  properties that are used in existing DTS files but were undocumented.
- Disallow syscon and clock-names for ti,davinci-dm6467-emac since they
  are not applicable to that SoC.
- Allow 1-2 reg entries (DM816 uses two).
- Make clocks a required property as driver probe fails without it.
- Mark ti,hwmods as deprecated.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v7.3 has started, and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We will only consider applying net-next patches which were posted
before the announcement:

https://lore.kernel.org/20260816155953.072d73da@kernel.org

Fixes are obviously welcome at any time. net-next patches may be sent
for review and discussion only with an RFC tag.

Please repost when net-next reopens.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
