Now that the code to support the legacy binding has been removed,
remove the documentation for it.

Distributed Switch Architecture Device Tree Bindings
----------------------------------------------------
Two bindings exist, one of which has been deprecated due to
limitations.
Current Binding
---------------
Switches are true Linux devices and can be probed by any means. Once
probed, they register to the DSA framework, passing a node
pointer. This node is expected to fulfil the following binding, and

Deprecated Binding
------------------
The deprecated binding makes use of a platform device to represent the
switches. The switches themselves are not Linux devices, and make use
of an MDIO bus for management.
Required properties:
- compatible : Should be "marvell,dsa"
- #address-cells : Must be 2, first cell is the address on the MDIO bus
and second cell is the address in the switch tree.
Second cell is used only when cascading/chaining.
- #size-cells : Must be 0
- dsa,ethernet : Should be a phandle to a valid Ethernet device node
- dsa,mii-bus : Should be a phandle to a valid MDIO bus device node
Optional properties:
- interrupts : property with a value describing the switch
interrupt number (not supported by the driver)
A DSA node can contain multiple switch chips which are therefore child nodes of
the parent DSA node. The maximum number of allowed child nodes is 4
(DSA_MAX_SWITCHES).
Each of these switch child nodes should have the following required properties:
- reg : Contains two fields. The first one describes the
address on the MII bus. The second is the switch
number that must be unique in cascaded configurations
- #address-cells : Must be 1
- #size-cells : Must be 0
A switch child node has the following optional property:
- eeprom-length : Set to the length of an EEPROM connected to the
switch. Must be set if the switch can not detect
the presence and/or size of a connected EEPROM,
otherwise optional.
A switch may have multiple "port" children nodes
Each port children node must have the following mandatory properties:
- reg : Describes the port address in the switch
- label : Describes the label associated with this port, special
labels are "cpu" to indicate a CPU port and "dsa" to
indicate an uplink/downlink port.
Note that a port labelled "dsa" will imply checking for the uplink phandle
described below.
Optional property:
- link : Should be a list of phandles to another switch's DSA port.
This property is only used when switches are being
chained/cascaded together. This port is used as outgoing port
towards the phandle port, which can be more than one hop away.
- phy-handle : Phandle to a PHY on an external MDIO bus, not the
switch internal one. See
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
for details.
- phy-mode : String representing the connection to the designated
PHY node specified by the 'phy-handle' property. See
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet.txt
for details.
- mii-bus : Should be a phandle to a valid MDIO bus device node.
This mii-bus will be used in preference to the
global dsa,mii-bus defined above, for this switch.
Optional subnodes:
- fixed-link : Fixed-link subnode describing a link to a non-MDIO
managed entity. See
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/fixed-link.txt
for details.
