[PATCH net v3 4/5] dt: cpsw: phy-handle, phy_id, and fixed-link are mutually exclusive

From: David Rivshin <drivshin at allworx.com>

The phy-handle, phy_id, and fixed-link properties are mutually exclusive,
and only one need be specified. Make this clear in the binding doc.

Also mark the phy_id property as deprecated, as phy-handle should be
used instead.

 Future plan is to migrate hwmod data base contents into device tree
