Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: dsa: make "label" property optional

Patch 1/2 makes the "label" property in new DSA bindings optional. This
doesn't change the current behavior with existing DTS files.

As Linux considers the Ethernet switch ports as normal NICs by default,
not providing a "label" property for user ports results in using the
standard "ethX" network device name. Giving a "label" overwrites this.

Patch 2/2 removes the labels for the ZII Rev B board as an example.

  net: dsa: make "label" property optional for dsa2
  arm: dts: vf610-zii-dev-rev-b: remove ports label
