stmmac: review driver documentation
This patch reviews the driver documentation file; for example, there were some new fields (in the driver module parameter section) and the ptp files were not documented. Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
