ethernet interfaces in device trees can have a "label" property which is generally used (when it is used) to identify which connector it is on the case or something like that. eg, eth2 in the turris omnia device tree has 'label = "wan"' on the mvneta interface.
ive been using labels in the dts recently to help me figure out what goes where, so this has been useful to me. if/when we support switches (eg mvsw), their ports are often labelled so i'd like to apply this idea to them too. ok?
