This one doesn't look quite right: you are adding the aliases in the .dtsi
files, which might be shared by multiple .dts files. There is no guarantee
that each board uses all three ethernet ports in the chip, even when all
boards we support in the kernel do.

Can you have a look at why those are not in the .dts file?

I kinda thought it would make sense to have all the ethernet aliases in
the dtsi file because even if different boards do not use all the
ethernets ports, the unused ethernet ports would be left disabled from
the dtsi file.

But then some boards may just use gmac1 or gmac2 instead of gmac0. So
yes, I'll move the aliases to the specific board file.

Thanks,
Dinh
