[PATCH net-next 02/16] dt-bindings: net: dwmac: Extend number of PBL values

In accordance with [1] the permitted PBL values can be set as one of [1,
2, 4, 8, 16, 32]. The rest of the values result in undefined behavior. At
the same time some of the permitted values can be also invalid depending
on the controller FIFOs size and the data bus width. Due to having too
many variables all the possible PBL property constraints can't be
implemented in the bindings schema, let's extend the set of permitted PBL
values to be as much as the configuration register supports leaving the
undefined behaviour cases for developers to handle.

[1] DesignWare Cores Ethernet MAC Universal Databook, Revision 3.73a,
    October 2013, p. 380.

Changelog v1:
- Use correct syntax of the JSON pointers, so the later would begin
  with a '/' after the '#'.
