Subject: ARM: dts: bcm2835: add index to the ethernet alias

From: Baruch Siach <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 10b6c0c2e2bb8cd1be682f8d36ef597e3419cb88 ]

An alias name should have an index number even when it is the only of its type. This allows U-Boot to add the local-mac-address property. Otherwise U-Boot skips the alias.

Fixes 6a93792774 ("ARM: bcm2835: dt: Add the ethernet to the device trees")
