Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] dt-bindings: net: nxp,s32-dwmac: Use the GPR syscon

The S32 chipsets have a GPR region which has a miscellaneous registers
including the GMAC_0_CTRL_STS register.  Originally, this code accessed
that register in a sort of ad-hoc way, but it's cleaner to use a
syscon interface to access these registers.

We still need to maintain the old method of accessing the GMAC register
but using a syscon will let us access other registers more cleanly.

Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>

v3: Better documentation about what GMAC_0_CTRL_STS register does.
v2: Add the vendor prefix to the phandle
    Fix the documentation
