device_type is deprecated and the kernel doesn't require it in most
cases. The only exceptions for flat tree users are the "gianfar",
"ucc_geth" and "ibm,emac" bindings, and arguably that requirement could
be relaxed for ucc_geth and ibm,emac (that is a task for separate
patches though).
This patch removes references to device_type="network" from the binding
documentation where possible and removes the properties from ARM and
microblaze dts files. This patch does not modify the powerpc .dts files
since there are a much larger number of them affected and I think the
ucc_geth, ibm,emac and gianfar users should be addressed before clearing
out the references to reduce the chance of breakage.

device_type is a deprecated property, but some MDIO bus nodes still have
it. Except for a couple of old binding (compatible="gianfar" and
compatible="ucc_geth_phy") the kernel doesn't look for
device_type="mdio" at all.
This patch removes all instances of device_type="mdio" from the binding
documentation and the .dts files.

The linux,phandle property is essentially an internal structural element
of the DT data structure. The dtc toolchain takes care of maintaining it
at compile time. It does not need to appear as part of the binding
documentation. This patch removes it so that users don't think they need
to add a phandle property manually.

The device tree is used by more than just PowerPC. Make the documentation
directory available to all.
v2: reorganized files while moving to create arch and driver specific
directories.
