Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: remove unneeded dependency of mvneta and update help text

With the introduction of the support for Armada 375 and Armada 38x,
the hidden Kconfig option MACH_ARMADA_370_XP is being renamed to
MACH_MVEBU_V7. Therefore, the dependency that was used for the mvneta
driver can no longer work.

However, such a dependency is not really necessary: there is no point
in preventing this driver from being built in other situations, just
like the mv643xx_eth driver. As a consequence, this commit removes the
unnecessary Kconfig dependency.

In addition to this, it takes this opportunity to adjust the
description and help text to indicate that the driver can is also used
for Armada 38x. Note that Armada 375 cannot use this driver as it has
a completely different networking unit, which will require a separate
driver.
