[PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: rng: mtk-rng: add SMC-based TRNG variants

Add compatible strings for MediaTek SoCs where the hardware random number
generator is accessed via a vendor-defined Secure Monitor Call (SMC)
rather than direct MMIO register access:

  - mediatek,mt7981-rng
  - mediatek,mt7987-rng
  - mediatek,mt7988-rng

These variants require no reg, clocks, or clock-names properties since
the RNG hardware is managed by ARM Trusted Firmware-A.

Relax the $nodename pattern to also allow 'rng' in addition to the
existing 'rng at ...' pattern.

Add a second example showing the minimal SMC variant binding.

v3:
 * drop not: in compatible conditional
 * add reg/clocks/clock-names: false for mt7981-rng
 * add else: requiring reg/clocks/clock-names for others

v2: express compatibilities with fallback
