This attribute is remained for compatible purpose. It is not recommended to
use it in new code.

- port-idx-in-ae: is the index of port provided by AE.
In NIC mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs of service DSAF are taken as ethernet ports
to the CPU. The port-idx-in-ae can be 0 to 5. Here is the diagram:

In Switch mode of DSAF, all 6 PHYs of service DSAF are taken as physical
ports connected to a LAN Switch while the CPU side assume itself have one
single NIC connected to this switch. In this case, the port-idx-in-ae
will be 0 only.

- local-mac-address: mac addr of the ethernet interface

Example:

ethernet@0{
compatible = "hisilicon,hns-nic-v1";
ae-handle = <&dsaf0>;
port-id = <0>;
port-idx-in-ae = <0>;
local-mac-address = [a2 14 e4 4b 56 76];
