Add device-tree binding documentation SFP transceivers. Support for SFP
transceivers has been recently introduced (drivers/net/phy/sfp.c).

The SFP driver is on net-next.

Not sure about the rate-select-gpio property name. The SFP+ standard
(not supported yet) uses two signals, RS0 and RS1. RS0 is compatible
with the SFP rate select signal, while RS1 controls the Tx rate.
SFP+ is usable with this, but the platforms I have do not wire the
rate select pins on the SFP+ sockets to GPIOs, but hard-wire them.
So maybe naming this signal 'rate-select0-gpio' would make it more future
(SPF+) proof? Or 'rate-select-rx-gpio'?
Just extend it by making it an array of 2 gpios.
What do you do if you have only one rate select wired up and it doesn't
correspond with the first?
Seems unlikely, but possible I guess. In that case, 2 properties is
probably better. Otherwise, you'd have to put in -1 or 0 for the first
phandle.
