[PATCH v2 01/21] dt-bindings: net: Add the old DT bindings for "fixed-link"

[Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>]

Per the upstream Linux kernel doc:

  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-controller.yaml

There are two ways to describe a fixed PHY attached to an Ethernet
device. This updates our dt-bindings doc to add the old DT bindings.

 normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
 binding allows to describe a "fixed link".
 
-Such a fixed link situation is described by creating a 'fixed-link'
-sub-node of the Ethernet MAC device node, with the following
-properties:
-
-* 'speed' (integer, mandatory), to indicate the link speed. Accepted
-  values are 10, 100 and 1000
-* 'full-duplex' (boolean, optional), to indicate that full duplex is
-  used. When absent, half duplex is assumed.
-* 'pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that pause should be
-  enabled.
-* 'asym-pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that asym_pause should
-  be enabled.
