I guess we eventually want to get to a place where we fix all DTS files
so that we can simply disallow switch/port/ports without ethernet-* prefix
so they become easier to read (you immediately know which kind of
switch/port etc it is).

At least that is my "why", also yours?

I can add this to the commit message.

Yours,
