[PATCH v3 1/3] dt-bindings: net: add Realtek r8169 family PCIe Ethernet

From: Ricardo Pardini <ricardo at pardini.net>

Add a binding for fixed/soldered Realtek PCIe Ethernet controllers
driven by the r8169 driver (RTL8125/8126/8127/8168 and variants).

The "pciVVVV,DDDD" compatibles are the Open Firmware PCI Bus Binding
spelling, auto-derived from PCI-SIG vendor/device IDs, but they still
need a binding when used in a board DT - analogous to "usbVVVV,PPPP"
compatibles documented in their own bindings (e.g. microchip,lan95xx)
so board DTs attaching properties (fixed MAC, nvmem cell, ...) to
these PCI function nodes can be validated.
