dt-bindings: net: don't confuse with generic PHY property
This complements commit 9a94b3a4bd (dt-binding: phy: don't confuse with Ethernet phy properties). The generic PHY 'phys' property sometime appears in the same node with the Ethernet PHY 'phy' or 'phy-handle' properties. Add a warning in ethernet.txt to reduce confusion.
