The dwmac 5.20 IP can be found on some synaptics SoCs. Add a
compatibility flag, and extend coverage of the dwmac-generic driver

I can see a compatible flag being added. But what about the extending
the coverage of the dwmac-generic driver part?
I don't think the timing is ripe yet (including the patch itself).
Maybe it would be better to do this when a hardware driver is to
be introduced into the kernel.

Thanks,
