EN7581 and AN7583 SoCs support connecting multiple external SerDes to GDM3
or GDM4 ports via a hw arbiter that manages the traffic in a TDM manner.
As a result multiple net_devices can connect to the same GDM{3,4} port
and there is a theoretical "1:n" relation between GDM ports and
net_devices.
Introduce the ethernet node child of a specific GDM port in order to model
a given net_device that is connected via the external arbiter to the
GDM{3,4} port. This new ethernet node is defined by the "airoha,eth-port"
compatible string. Please note GDM1 and GDM2 does not support the
connection with the external arbiter and they are represented by an
ethernet node defined by the "airoha,eth-mac" compatible string.
