Subject: [PATCH net] dt-bindings: net: dwmac: fix queue priority documentation

From: Seb Laveze <sebastien.laveze@....com>

The priority field is not the queue priority (queue priority is fixed)
but a bitmask of priorities assigned to this queue.

In receive, priorities relate to tagged frames priorities.

In transmit, priorities relate to PFC frames.
