[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: soc: ti: pruss: allow ethernet controller in ICSSG node

While the current Device Trees for TI EVMs configure the PRUSS Ethernet
controller as a toplevel node with names like "icssg1-eth", allowing to
make it a subnode of the ICSSG has a number of advantages:

- It makes sense semantically - the Ethernet controller is running on
  the ICSSG/PRUSS
- Disabling or deleting the ICSSG node implicitly removes the Ethernet
  controller node when it is a child node. This can be relevant on SoCs
  like the AM64x which come in variants with and without ICSSG; e.g., on
  the TQMa64xxL the ICSSG node will be disabled on variants without as a
  bootloader fixup.
  On Linux, this avoids leaving the Ethernet controller in deferred
  state forever while waiting for the ICSSG to become available
  (resulting in a warning on newer kernels)

The node name "ethernet" is chosen as it nicely matches the regular
"ethernet@<reg>" format of many Ethernet controller nodes, and is also
what the prueth binding example (/schemas/net/ti,icssg-prueth.yaml) uses.
