[PATCH v27 2/4] dt-bindings: i2c: ast2600-i2c.yaml: Add global-regs and transfer-mode properties

The AST2600 I2C controller supports three transfer modes (byte, buffer,
DMA). Add "aspeed,transfer-mode" so DT can select the preferred transfer
method per controller instance. Also add the "aspeed,global-regs"
phandle to reference the AST2600 global registers syscon/regmap used by
the controller.

These properties apply only to the AST2600 binding and are not part of
the legacy binding, which uses a mixed controller/target register layout
and does not have the split register blocks or these new configuration
registers. Legacy DTs remain unchanged.
