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

Sorry. Fixed this in my v2 and some how it came back. Will fix.
prop in the device node. Also, please name the node "can-transceiver@" to be more in line with the DT spec. which requires generic node names.
Its possible for future can transceivers drivers to be created. So I thought including fixed was important to indicate that this is a "dumb" transceiver similar to "fixed-link". So would "fixed-can-transceiver" be ok or do you want to go with can-transceiver?
