Subject: ARM: dts: bcm2835: add index to the ethernet alias

From: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>


[ Upstream commit 10b6c0c2e2bb8cd1be682f8d36ef597e3419cb88 ]

An alias name should have an index number even when it is the only of its type.
This allows U-Boot to add the local-mac-address property. Otherwise U-Boot
skips the alias.
