Documentation: networking: dsa: Update documentation

Since 83c0afae ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation"), DSA is
no longer a platform device exclusively and can support registering DSA
switches from other bus drivers (PCI, USB, I2C, etc.).

Design limitations
==================
DSA is a platform device driver
-------------------------------
DSA is implemented as a DSA platform device driver which is convenient because
it will register the entire DSA switch tree attached to a master network device
in one-shot, facilitating the device creation and simplifying the device driver
model a bit, this comes however with a number of limitations:
- building DSA and its switch drivers as modules is currently not working
- the device driver parenting does not necessarily reflect the original
bus/device the switch can be created from
- supporting non-MDIO and non-MMIO (platform) switches is not possible
Limits on the number of devices and ports
