Document the binding for the Wireless Ethernet Dispatch core on the MT7622
SoC, which is used for Ethernet->WLAN offloading
Add related info in mediatek-net bindings.

Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

Don't store drivers in arm directory. See:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/YkJa1oLSEP8R4U6y@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Isn't this a network offload engine? If yes, then probably it should be
in "net/".
It's not a network offload engine by itself. It's a SoC component that connects to the offload engine and controls a MTK PCIe WLAN device, intercepting interrupts and DMA rings in order to be able to inject packets coming in from the offload engine.
Do you think it still belongs in net, or maybe in soc instead?

Generic node name, "wed" is specific. Maybe "network-offload"? Or
"network-accelerator"? You probably know better what this device does,
so maybe come with some generic name?
wed stands for "wireless ethernet dispatch". Both network-offload and network-accelerator don't really fit. Would it make sense to spell it out, or do you have any better naming ideas?

Thanks,
