Simon Glass 7b9cf84031 dts: sunxi: Bring in Ethernet device tree bindings
Since we will use these bindings on sunxi, bring them in from Linux
4.0-rc1.

The following properties are common to the Ethernet controllers:
- local-mac-address: array of 6 bytes, specifies the MAC address that was
assigned to the network device;
- mac-address: array of 6 bytes, specifies the MAC address that was last used by
the boot program; should be used in cases where the MAC address assigned to
the device by the boot program is different from the "local-mac-address"
property;
- max-speed: number, specifies maximum speed in Mbit/s supported by the device;
- max-frame-size: number, maximum transfer unit (IEEE defined MTU), rather than
the maximum frame size (there's contradiction in ePAPR).
- phy-mode: string, operation mode of the PHY interface; supported values are
"mii", "gmii", "sgmii", "qsgmii", "tbi", "rev-mii", "rmii", "rgmii", "rgmii-id",
"rgmii-rxid", "rgmii-txid", "rtbi", "smii", "xgmii"; this is now a de-facto
standard property;
- phy-connection-type: the same as "phy-mode" property but described in ePAPR;
- phy-handle: phandle, specifies a reference to a node representing a PHY
device; this property is described in ePAPR and so preferred;
- phy: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new bindings.
- phy-device: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new
bindings.
Child nodes of the Ethernet controller are typically the individual PHY devices
connected via the MDIO bus (sometimes the MDIO bus controller is separate).
They are described in the phy.txt file in this same directory.
