ARM: dts: nuvoton: Use generic "ethernet" as node name

[PATCH] ARM: dts: nuvoton: Use generic "ethernet" as node name

Posted by Krzysztof Kozlowski 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Common name for Ethernet controllers is "ethernet", not "eth", also
recommended by Devicetree specification in "Generic Names
Recommendation".  Verified lack of impact using dtx_diff.
