The rswitch has three independent ports which each can act as a separate interface with its own MAC address. Describe DT aliases ethernet0, ethernet1, ethernet2 for each rswitch port in DT. This allows U-Boot to insert MAC addresses from its environment variables ethaddr/eth1addr/eth2addr into each rswitch port nodes, so Linux can read and use one unique MAC address for each rswitch port. Note that it is unlikely this would break existing rswitch driver operation in the Linux kernel, because as of right now, the rswitch driver already calls of_get_ethdev_address() for each port to read out the MAC address out of each rswitch port DT node, and if that is missing, it falls back to MAC address settings read from the hardware itself, and if that also fails, it uses random MAC address.
