Add bindings for the new TI CPSW switch driver. Comparing to the legacy
bindings (net/cpsw.txt):
- ports definition follows DSA bindings (net/dsa/dsa.txt) and ports
can be
marked as "disabled" if not physically wired.
- all deprecated properties dropped;
- all legacy propertiies dropped which represent constant HW
cpapbilities
(cpdma_channels, ale_entries, bd_ram_size, mac_control, slaves,
active_slave)
- TI CPTS DT properties are reused as is, but grouped in "cpts" sub-node
- TI Davinci MDIO DT bindings are reused as is, because Davinci MDIO is
reused.

+- mdio : CPSW MDIO bus block description
+    - bus_freq : MDIO Bus frequency

clock-frequency is a more typical property to describe the bus clock's
frequency, that is what i2c and spi do.

The MDIO is re-used here unchanged (including bindings).
i think, I could try to add standard optional property "bus-frequency"
to MDIO bindings
as separate series, and deprecate "bus_freq".

What is wrong with 'clock-frequency'?

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c.txt:

- clock-frequency
         frequency of bus clock in Hz.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/brcm,unimac-mdio.txt:

- clock-frequency: the MDIO bus clock that must be output by the MDIO bus
   hardware, if absent, the default hardware values are used

Maybe this is a bit of a misnomer as it is usually considered a
replacement for the lack of a proper "clocks" property with a clock
provider, but we can flip the coin around any way we want, it looks
almost the same.


I can do clock-frequency, but I like more bus-frequency (personally)
due to more understandable meaning, and because in "Devicetree Specification v0.2"
clock-frequency is defined as more related to clocks.

Any way I hope you agree that it should be part separate discussion?
