Second ethernet on kirkwood does not work when probed through DT

Hello Sebastian,

using your DT patches[1] (on top of 3.10) I can't get the second ethernet to work on my kirkwood board.

in my dts file I use:

&mdio {
        status = "okay";
};

&eth0 {
        status = "okay";
        ethernet0-port at 0 {
                speed = <1000>;
                duplex = <1>;
        };
};

&eth1 {
        status = "okay";
        ethernet1-port at 1 {
                speed = <1000>;
                duplex = <1>;
        };
};

(Both macs are connected to a switch, so use a fixed link, and no phy).

Eth1 gets probed fine, but never gets a link when brought up, and trying to bring it down again hangs the board hard.

Using Florian's older patches, it is brought up fine and works (after adapting the node names of course).

Also I noticed that you named eth1's ethernet1-port node wrongly in (at least) your kirkwood conversion patch[2]; you used

&eth1 {
	status = "okay";
	ethernet1-port at 0 {
           must be @1--^
		phy-handle = <&ethphy1>;
	};
};

which results in a null pointer access on boot:
