Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] ARM: mvebu: network interface naming
Hi Thomas,
Quoted 16 lines · Thomas Petazzoni
Dear mvebu maintainers,
As was discussed back in November last year, the naming of network interfaces on Armada 38x is very confusing. Gregory Clement suggested to exceptionally violate the rule of "DT nodes should be ordered by register address" in order to reduce the confusion.
The first patch implements this proposal.
The second patch is a new iteration of the patch that adds comments to the Armada 385 DB AP Device Tree file. The contents of the patch is the same (add indications of which physical connector corresponds each port), only the commit log is adjusted to take into account the fact that thanks to the first patch, the naming of the network interfaces visible from Linux is now a lot more sane.

Thanks!

Thomas Petazzoni (2):
ARM: mvebu: change order of ethernet DT nodes on Armada 38x
ARM: mvebu: add reference to ETH connectors for A385-AP
Even if we know that it is not perfect, I applied both pacthes on mvebu/dt
Thanks,
Gregory
