Yes, exactly, let me do as you suggest.

Yes, let me also add a TODO in front here. Plus yeah, this capitalized variant just slipped our eyes and I will
change them all to regular Verdin. Thanks for spotting this.

Yes, actually the on-module PHY which is what is routed to the RJ-45 on Dahlia uses the EQOS MAC, correct.

Yes, however, U-Boot does use the EQOS one as primary MAC as well. This is just how U-Boot does things. There
is no easy way to change the actual instance numbering. Actually just like on Linux really with the one
difference that U-Boot will always show both independent whether or not your carrier board even has the second
PHY or not. This is due to U-Boot doing lazy loading aka not touch any Ethernet hardware unless you actually
run some network commands.

No, this alias should really be what ensures the correct MAC addresses.

Yes, I guess you might not be using latest mainline U-Boot. I just verified this on my table again having both
the Dahlia and Verdin Development carrier boards available. Please note that on the Verdin Development Board
the primary Ethernet is also called eth1. Unfortunately, changing this naming is also not entirely trivial. But
it really should have the proper MAC address.
