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-name: accelerator name who provides this interface,
is simply a name referring to the name of name in the accelerator node.
- 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:

(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-name = "dsaf0";
port-id = <0>;
local-mac-address = [a2 14 e4 4b 56 76];
};
