[PATCH] net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: create platform device for port nodes

[Hiago De Franco]

From: Hiago De Franco <hiago.franco@xxxxxxxxxxx>

After this change, an 'of_node' link from '/sys/devices/platform' to
'/sys/firmware/devicetree' will be created. The 'ethernet-ports' device
allows multiple netdevs to have the exact same parent device, e.g. port@x
netdevs are child nodes of ethernet-ports.

When ethernet aliases are used (e.g. 'ethernet0 = &cpsw_port1' and
'ethernet1 = &cpsw_port2') in the device tree, without an of_node
device exposed to the userspace, it is not possible to determine where
exactly the alias is pointing to.

As an example, this is essential for applications like systemd, which rely
on the of_node information to identify and manage Ethernet devices
using device tree aliases introduced in the v251 naming scheme.
