I'm sorry, but no, not like this. I see it works for you, only having
single can device, but it would quickly break with two of them and two
ethernets are rather common.

So this will need to be device = <&phandle_of_ethernet_device> or
something like that. There may be example with usb port triggers.

Thanks,
