Documentation: net: dsa: add details about SJA1110

Denote that the new switch generation is supported, detail its pin
strapping options (with differences compared to SJA1105) and explain how
MDIO access to the internal 100base-T1 and 100base-TX PHYs is performed.

The NXP SJA1105 is a family of 6 devices:
The NXP SJA1105 is a family of 10 SPI-managed automotive switches:
- SJA1105E: First generation, no TTEthernet
- SJA1105T: First generation, TTEthernet

- SJA1105R: Second generation, no TTEthernet, SGMII
- SJA1105S: Second generation, TTEthernet, SGMII
These are SPI-managed automotive switches, with all ports being gigabit
capable, and supporting MII/RMII/RGMII and optionally SGMII on one port.

MDIO bus available to Linux within the system (e.g. to the DSA master's MDIO
bus). Link state management then works by the driver manually keeping in sync
(over SPI commands) the MAC link speed with the settings negotiated by the PHY.
By comparison, the SJA1110 supports an MDIO slave access point over which its
internal 100base-T1 PHYs can be accessed from the host. This is, however, not
used by the driver, instead the internal 100base-T1 and 100base-TX PHYs are
accessed through SPI commands, modeled in Linux as virtual MDIO buses.
The microcontroller attached to the SJA1110 port 0 also has an MDIO controller
operating in master mode, however the driver does not support this either,
since the microcontroller gets disabled when the Linux driver operates.
Discrete PHYs connected to the switch ports should have their MDIO interface
attached to an MDIO controller from the host system and not to the switch,
similar to SJA1105.
