{"kernel":"5.4.46","hostname":"OpenWrt","system":"ARMv7 Processor rev 1

With the below cited DT both CPU ports facing the node's build-in switch 
are brought online at boot time with kernel 4.14 but since having 
switched to kernel 5.4 only one CPU port gets online. It is as if the 
kernel discards the presence of the secondary CPU port. Kernel log only 
prints for the offline port just a single entry:

mvneta f1070000.ethernet eth0: Using hardware mac address

Swapping eth1 to port6 and eth0 to port6 then eth0 is brought online but 
eth1 is not. Removing port5 then the port6 listed port is brought up/online.

Once the node is booted the offline port can brought up with ip l set 
up. This seems like a regression bug in between the kernel versions.
