ethernet0 (called FSL UEC0 in U-Boot) should be enet1 (UCC3/eth1), and

U-Boot to the kernel.
Um.. why is just swapping the aliases, rather than the enet labels the
right approach here?
Kim suggested it was better to localize the port ordering as a
property of the board rather than that of the QE, and I agreed.
And the enet0/enet1 names that appear in the labels come from the QE
documentation?
No.. but don't you think the UCC2, UCC3 names, which *do* come from
the QE documentation, should match their labels in numeric ordering?
Aren't the aliases just machine-specific shortcuts for the
bootloader?
Ok, that's reasonable (although personally I would have thought it
would make more sense for the labels to be based on the documentation
terms, so UCC2, UCC3 etc., as we do on 4xx).
Yeah, that would make sense to me too. Although I guess that's a separate
patch/issue, since the enet0/enet1 labelling is pretty common across 85xx/83xx.
