[PATCH net-next v1 4/4] usbnet: add support for label from device tree

Similar to the option to set a netdev name in device tree for switch
ports by using the property "label" in the DSA framework, this patch
adds this functionality to the usbnet infrastructure.

This will help to name the interfaces properly throughout supported
devices. This provides stable interface names which are useful
especially in embedded use cases.
