Document bindings for Marvell Aquantia PHY.

The Marvell Aquantia PHY require a firmware to work correctly and there
at least 3 way to load this firmware.

Describe all the different way and document the binding "firmware-name"
to load the PHY firmware from userspace.

Changes v5:
- Drop extra entry not related to HW description
Changes v3:
- Make DT description more OS agnostic
- Use custom select to fix dtbs checks
Changes v2:
- Add DT patch

I'd probably phrase this one as something more like "Read from a
dedicated partition on system NAND declared in an NVMEM cell, and loaded
to the PHY using its mailbox interface." or something like that - mostly
to get rid of the linux specific "NVMEM subsystem" from the description.

I don't agree with this statement. Pretty sure we've been through this 
before...

If we have a node, we need to define what it is. The way that is done is 
with compatible. Whether some particular OS implementation (currently) 
needs compatible or not is irrelevant. It's not about dtschema needing 
it, that just exposes the issue.

These MDIO PHY bindings are all broken because they are never actually 
applied to anything.

I will just drop these comments, the additional compatible is redundant
as it will be scanned from PHY ID but won't cause any problem.

Also the scenario with fw in nvmem cells or in fs is in devices where
the PHY is soldered to the device, so describe them in DT is correct.
