This is old u-boot feature. I was investigating why u-boot is not able
to correctly modify loaded omnia dtb file when booting linux kernel and
I found out that it is because it cannot due to missing ethernet
aliases.

Also there is a new u-boot feature for omnia to correctly put
phy-reset-gpios property into eth 2 node based on board hw revision. So
this is another purpose for which we should have those aliases, to allow
kernel to correctly reset wan (eth 2) PHY.

I would suggest this change for backporting into stable.
