[PATCH net-next 1/3] dt-bindings: net: snps,dwmac: Add snps,pagepool-tx-buf-quirk

From: Nazim Amirul <muhammad.nazim.amirul.nazle.asmade at altera.com>

Add a DT flag to enable use of page pool buffers instead of streaming
skb buffers for transmit. This avoids IOMMU invalidate wait time on
platforms where that cost is high, with the trade-off of copying data
from the skb into dma-mapped page pool buffers.
