[PATCH v4 1/4] dt-bindings: net: can: Add poll-interval for MCAN

On AM62x SoC, MCANs on MCU domain do not have hardware interrupt
routed to A53 Linux, instead they will use software interrupt by
hrtimer. To enable timer method, interrupts should be optional so
remove interrupts property from required section and introduce
poll-interval property.

Changelog:
v3:
 1. Move binding patch to first in series
 2. Update description for poll-interval
 3. Add oneOf to specify using interrupts/interrupt-names or poll-interval
 4. Fix example property: add comment below 'example'

v2:
  1. Add poll-interval property to enable timer polling method
  2. Add example using poll-interval property
