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.
+
+Required Properties:
+ max-bitrate: a positive non 0 value that determines the max
+ speed that CAN/CAN-FD can run. Any other value
+ will be ignored.

+Examples:

+Based on Texas Instrument's TCAN1042HGV CAN Transceiver

Sorry. Fixed this in my v2 and some how it came back. Will fix.
prop in the device node. Also, please name the node "can-transceiver@"
to be more in line with the DT spec. which requires generic node names.
Its possible for future can transceivers drivers to be created. So I
So what? Ah, you are using the node name to match in the CAN drivers...
thought including fixed was important to indicate that this is a "dumb"
transceiver similar to "fixed-link".
I'm not sure the "fixed-link" MAC subnode assumed any transceiver at all...
So would "fixed-can-transceiver" be
ok or do you want to go with can-transceiver?
I'm somewhat perplexed at this point...
