From: Radhey Shyam Pandey <radhey.shyam.pandey at xilinx.com>

The axiethernet driver will now use dmaengine framework to communicate
with dma controller IP instead of built-in dma programming sequence.

To request dma transmit and receive channels the axiethernet driver uses
generic dmas, dma-names properties. It deprecates axistream-connected
property, remove axidma reg and interrupt properties from the ethernet
node. Just to highlight that these DT changes are not backward compatible
due to major driver restructuring/cleanup done in adopting the dmaengine
framework.
