Subject: [RFC PATCH dpss_eth] Don't initialise ports with no PHY

Since cbb961ca271e ("Use random MAC address when none is given")
Varisys Cyrus P5020 boards have been listing 5 ethernet ports instead of
the 2 the board has.This is because we were preventing the adding of the
unused ports by not suppling them a MAC address, which this patch now
supplies.

Prevent them from appearing in the net devices list by checking for a
'status="disabled"' entry during probe and skipping the port if we find
it.
