As of_get_mac_address now supports NVMEM under the hood, we need to update
the bindings documentation with the new nvmem-cell* properties, which would
mean copy&pasting a lot of redundant information to every binding
documentation currently referencing some of the MAC address properties.
So I've just removed all the references to the optional MAC address
properties and replaced them with the small note referencing
net/ethernet.txt file.

The SoC hix5hd2 compatible string has the suffix "-gmac" and
we should not change its compatible string.
So we should name all the compatible string with the suffix "-gmac".
Creating a new name suffix "-gemac" is unnecessary.
We also add another SoC compatible string in dt binding documentation
and describe which generic version the SoC belongs to.

Add three reset control signals, "mac_core_rst", "mac_ifc_rst" and
"phy_rst".
The following diagram explained how the reset signals work.

The "mac_core_rst" represents "mac core reset signal", it resets
the mac core including packet processing unit, descriptor processing unit,
tx engine, rx engine, control unit.
The "mac_ifc_rst" represents "mac interface reset signal", it resets
the mac interface. The mac interface unit connects mac core and
data interface like MII/RMII/RGMII. After we set a new value of
interface mode, we must reset mac interface to reload the new mode value.
The "mac_core_rst" and "mac_ifc_rst" are both optional to be
backward compatible with the hix5hd2 SoC.
The "phy_rst" represents "phy reset signal", it does a hardware reset
on the PHY chip. This reset signal is optional if the PHY can work well
without the hardware reset.
Add one more clock signal, the existing is MAC core clock,
and the new one is MAC interface clock.
The MAC interface clock is optional to be backward compatible with
the hix5hd2 SoC.

The "hix5hd2" is SoC name, add the generic ethernet driver name.
The "hisi-gemac-v1" is the basic version and "hisi-gemac-v2" adds
the SG/TXCSUM/TSO/UFO features.
