This change documents the 'mac-mode' property that was introduced in the
'stmmac' driver to support passive mode converters that can sit in-between
the MAC & PHY.

+      The property is identical to 'phy-mode', and assumes that there is mode
+      converter in-between the MAC & PHY (e.g. GMII-to-RGMII). This converter
+      can be passive (no SW requirement), and requires that the MAC operate
