[PATCH 1/5] dt-bindings: allow dwmac-sun8i to use other devices' exported regmap

On some Allwinner SoCs the EMAC clock register needed by dwmac-sun8i is
in another device's memory space. In this situation dwmac-sun8i can use
a regmap exported by the other device with only the EMAC clock register.

Document this situation in the dwmac-sun8i device tree binding
documentation.
