Yes.

Sure.

This is a label.

id is not needed, i will remove it.

reg & port node indexes are different here because to match with the
 physical to logical port mapping done in the LAN9374. I realized that
the description is missing and that is to be added. However, should reg
& port node index match for the net dev? 
If it should be the same, then the same can be acheived by renaming a
label (lanx) as well.

Sure, will remove it.
