Add documentation to describe usage of the new fixed transceiver binding.
This new binding is applicable for any CAN device therefore it exists as
its own document.

+Fixed transceiver Device Tree binding
+------------------------------
+
+CAN transceiver typically limits the max speed in standard CAN and CAN FD
+modes. Typically these limitations are static and the transceivers themselves
+provide no way to detect this limitation at runtime. For this situation,
+the "fixed-transceiver" node can be used.
+
+Properties:
+
+Optional:
+ max-arbitration-speed: a positive non 0 value that determines the max
+ speed that CAN can run in non CAN-FD mode or during the
+ arbitration phase in CAN-FD mode.
+
+ max-data-speed: a positive non 0 value that determines the max data rate
+ that can be used in CAN-FD mode. A value of -1 implies
+ CAN-FD is not supported by the transceiver.
+
+Examples:
+
+Based on Texas Instrument's TCAN1042HGV CAN Transceiver
+
+m_can0 {
+ ....
+ fixed-transceiver {
+ max-arbitration-speed = <1000000>;
+ max-data-speed = <5000000>;
+ };
+ ...
+};
+
+Based on a CAN Transceiver that doesn't support CAN-FD. Only needed if the
+CAN IP supports CAN-FD but is using a transceiver that doesn't.
+
+m_can0 {
+ ....
+ fixed-transceiver {
+ max-data-speed = <(-1)>;
+ };
+ ...
+};
