yankejian 48189d6aaf net: hns: enet specifies a reference to dsaf
This patch replace the assoication between dsaf and enet from string
matching to object reference. It requires the DTS to be updated within
BIOS. Thanks god it can be done for all released boards.

Hisilicon Network Subsystem NIC controller
Required properties:
- compatible: "hisilicon,hns-nic-v1" or "hisilicon,hns-nic-v2".
"hisilicon,hns-nic-v1" is for hip05.
"hisilicon,hns-nic-v2" is for Hi1610 and Hi1612.
- ae-handle: accelerator engine handle for hns,
specifies a reference to the associating hardware driver node.
see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/hisilicon-hns-dsaf.txt
- port-id: is the index of port provided by DSAF (the accelerator). DSAF can
connect to 8 PHYs. Port 0 to 1 are both used for adminstration purpose. They
are called debug ports.
The remaining 6 PHYs are taken according to the mode of DSAF.
In NIC mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs are taken as ethernet ports to the CPU. The
port-id can be 2 to 7. Here is the diagram:
+-----+---------------+
| CPU |
+-+-+-+---+-+-+-+-+-+-+

debug service
port port
(0,1) (2-7)
In Switch mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs are taken as physical ports connect to a
LAN Switch while the CPU side assume itself have one single NIC connect to
this switch. In this case, the port-id will be 2 only.

- local-mac-address: mac addr of the ethernet interface
Example:
ethernet@0{
compatible = "hisilicon,hns-nic-v1";
ae-handle = <&dsaf0>;
port-id = <0>;
local-mac-address = [a2 14 e4 4b 56 76];
};
