Subject: drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ehea/ehea_main.c: add alias entry for portN properties
Use separate table for alias entries in the ehea module, otherwise the
probe() function will operate on the separate ports instead of the
lhea-"root" entry of the device-tree

This can definitely have consequences and in particular potentially cause
a device to not get probed properly.
Therefore I want an ehea driver maintainer to review and ACK this before
I apply it.
Thanks.

After taking a glance at the patch, it doesn't seem to change probing,
since it keeps the same table for the driver itself. It seems this only
changes alias, so the driver will be loaded under some device-tree
layouts not currently matched by the current alias.
That last part is the one that bothers me. I still need to find a system
where the current modalias won't work and this patch is needed. I'll see
if I can put more effort into that and find a system as described in the
bug.
Regards.
Thadeu Cascardo.

Sorry for the noise. I just checked again the bug, and had to read
between the lines that this issue might happen with the generation of
initrd, when the scripts check for /sys/class/net/eth0/device/modalias,
which links to the port device at
/sys/devices/ibmebus/23c00400.lhea/port0/.
I think that should be clarified in the log message. Besides that, since
this has also been in the field for a long time:

I adjusted the commit message and applied this, thanks.
