Indeed, driver's code isn't dependent; however, there is a dependency
on 'eth[0-2]' name in all relevant .dts and .dtsi files, e.g.:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-375.dtsi#L190
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-cp11x.dtsi#L72

Ports under 'ethernet' node are named eth[0-2], thus those and all .dts files 
including the above would have to be modified to pass through `dtbs_check'.
