[PATCH v2 2/2] net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: Support custom ifname

Reto Schneider code at reto-schneider.ch

From: Reto Schneider <reto.schneider at husqvarnagroup.com>

Name the MAC interface name according to the label property. If the
property is missing, the default name (ethX) gets used.

Labels with more than IFNAMSIZ -1 characters will be truncated silently,
which seems to be what most of the code base does when using strscpy.

Signed-off-by: Reto Schneider <reto.schneider at husqvarnagroup.com>

Changes in v2:
- Avoid dangerous usage of strncpy
