Sorry, it's my fault really for not checking since v4 that you properly
applied my feedback to "Please remove port labels from the example."
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20251216224317.maxhcdsuqqxnywmu@skbuf/

There was an effort a few years ago to remove label = "cpu" at least
from dt-binding examples, if not from device trees as well, because the
"label" property is defined and parsed only for user ports, which the
CPU port is not. [ and even for user ports, it is discouraged except for
distributions with a sub-par udev implementation (OpenWrt) ].

This line should go away.
