dt-bindings: net: dsa: realtek: cleanup compatible strings
Compatible strings are used to help the driver find the chip ID/version register for each chip family. After that, the driver can setup the switch accordingly. Keep only the first supported model for each family as a compatible string and reference other chip models in the description. The removed compatible strings have never been used in a released kernel.

The realtek-mdio driver is an MDIO driver and it must be inserted inside
an MDIO node.
+ The compatible string is only used to identify which (silicon) family the
+ switch belongs to. Roughly speaking, a family is any set of Realtek switches
+ whose chip identification register(s) have a common location and semantics.
+ The different models in a given family can be automatically disambiguated by
+ parsing the chip identification register(s) according to the given family,
+ avoiding the need for a unique compatible string for each model.
