The TSN Endpoint MAC owns the IP's host-side MCDMA data path and is the
netdev physically wired to the CPU. The DSA switch needs this netdev to
exist as its conduit.

Add a platform driver (compatible "xlnx,tsn-ep-mac") for the endpoint.
Register the netdev named "ep", set its MAC address, and provide minimal
netdev and ethtool ops. This skeleton handles device bring-up only, with
no data path yet. So ndo_open just starts the queues and ndo_start_xmit
drops frames.
