[PATCH v3 1/8] dt-bindings: net: amlogic,meson-dwmac: list the compatible combinations

The compatible property only checks that the first entry is an Amlogic
name and that "snps,dwmac" or "snps,dwmac-3.70a" appears somewhere in
the list. It cannot express which fallbacks each SoC takes, so a SoC
built on a different Synopsys core cannot be added without loosening
the check for every other one.

List the combinations the device trees actually use: Meson6 and
Meson8m2 fall back to "snps,dwmac" alone, the others also name the
3.70a core. The example used a two-entry form no device tree has, so
give it the Meson GXBB combination.
