net: xilinx: tsn: parse endpoint DMA channel configuration

This patch counts the TX and RX MCDMA channels listed in the endpoint's
"dma-names" property, allocates the conduit netdev with that many hardware
queues, and parses the "tx-queues-config" child node to map each logical TX
queue to a physical DMA channel.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this equality check reject device trees that the in-tree binding
accepts?  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/xlnx,tsn-endpoint-ethernet-mac.yaml
describes the two properties completely independently:

  xlnx,num-priorities:
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
    minimum: 2
    maximum: 8

      dma-names:
        minItems: 2
        maxItems: 16
        items:
          pattern: "^(tx|rx)_chan[0-7]$"

With that schema, dma-names = "tx_chan0", "rx_chan0" together with
xlnx,num-priorities = <2> validates, but xlnx_tsn_ep_probe() now fails with
"TX channel count 1 must equal num-priorities 2".  A 4 TX + 4 RX endpoint
under xlnx,num-priorities = <8> fails the same way.

The queue node checks in ep_parse_tx_queue_config() add a second constraint
that the schema does not express: exactly one queue<N> node per TX channel,
with dense indices 0..num_tx-1.  The schema has no required queue children
under tx-queues-config, so an empty

  tx-queues-config {
  };

is schema-valid and gets "tx-config: described 0 queues but expected N",
and sparse names such as queue0/queue1/queue2/queue7 with 4 TX channels get
"tx-config: invalid queue node queue7 (have 4 queues)".

Because the endpoint MAC is the DSA conduit referenced by
port at 0 { ethernet = <&ep_mac>; }, a probe failure here also takes away the
three-port switch, not just the ep0 netdev.

Semantically these look like different things: xlnx,num-priorities is an
IP-wide traffic class count on the parent node, while dma-names describes
host-side MCDMA wiring on the endpoint node, and the binding's own example
uses an arbitrary queueN -> tx_chanM permutation.  num_prio is read here for
no other purpose than this comparison.

Should the binding encode the coupling (required queue children and a
dma-names/num-priorities relation), or should the driver accept every
topology the binding advertises?

The YAML is unchanged by this patch and by the remainder of the series, and
only the 8 TX / 8 RX, xlnx,num-priorities = <8> example in the binding
satisfies the driver, so dt_binding_check does not surface the mismatch.

Could the commit message body state these new device tree requirements?
Right now they appear only in the below-the-line v2 changelog:

  - Require one queue node per tx_chan and num-priorities equal to the TX
    channel count.
