From: Biju Das <biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com>

The CANFD on RZ/{G2L,G3E} and R-Car Gen4 support 3 modes FD-Only mode,
Classical CAN mode and CAN-FD mode. In FD-Only mode, communication in
Classical CAN frame format is disabled. Document renesas,fd-only to handle
this mode. As these SoCs support 3 modes, update the description of
renesas,no-can-fd property and disallow it for R-Car Gen3.

v3->v4:
 * Dropped the node added in example for just testing.
v2->v3:
 * Added check to disallow the usage of both fd-only and no-can-fd.
v1->v2:
 * Added conditional check to disallow fd-only mode for R-Car Gen3.
