Humm, O.K. This is not obvious, until you look at of_dev_node_match()
in net-sysfs.c.
Most Ethernet drivers don't set netdev.dev.of_node. But they do call
SET_NETDEV_DEV(), which sets netdev.dev.parent.
of_dev_node_match() first looks at netdev.dev.parent->of_node, and if that
does not match, then looks at netdev.dev.of_node.
For the mtk Ethernet driver, the parent is not going to work, because
of the sub devices. So netdev.dev.of_node does need to be set.
