dt-bindings: can: can-transceiver: Document new binding

Add documentation to describe usage of the new can-transceiver binding.
This new binding is applicable for any CAN device therefore it exists as
its own document.

+Generic CAN transceiver Device Tree binding
+------------------------------
+
+CAN transceiver typically limits the max speed in standard CAN and CAN FD
+modes. Typically these limitations are static and the transceivers themselves
+provide no way to detect this limitation at runtime. For this situation,
+the "can-transceiver" node can be used.
+
+Required Properties:
+ max-bitrate:   a positive non 0 value that determines the max
+                speed that CAN/CAN-FD can run. Any other value
+                will be ignored.
+
+Examples:
+
+Based on Texas Instrument's TCAN1042HGV CAN Transceiver
+
+m_can0 {
+        ....
+        can-transceiver {
+                max-bitrate = <5000000>;
+        };
+        ...
+};
