[PATCH v2 phy-next 13/15] dt-bindings: phy: lynx-10g: initial document

Add a schema for the 10G Lynx SerDes. This is very similar to the modern
form of the 28G Lynx SerDes, which is very much the intention.

We allow both forms of #phy-cells = <1> in the top-level provider
and #phy-cells = <0> in the per-lane provider for more flexibility to
consumers, and because the kernel code is shared with the 28G Lynx which
already has that support for compatibility reasons.

v1->v2:
- move patch later in series, right before driver
- deliberately ignoring this Sashiko feedback:

+description:
+  The 10G Lynx is a multi-protocol SerDes block which handles networking, PCIe,
+  SATA and other high-speed interfaces. It is present on most QorIQ and
+  Layerscape SoCs. The register map is common, but the integration is
+  SoC-specific, with the differences consisting in register endianness, the
+  number of lanes, protocol converters available per lane and their location in
+  the PCCR registers. Some SoCs have multiple SerDes blocks and those differ in
+  their protocol capabilities per lane.
