I thought that defining aliases automatically assigned the device name,
but I found the driver needed to manage the aliases.

In case of booting up the kernel from U-boot, the ethernet alias of
the devicetree is referred by U-boot, and mac-address in an aliased
ethernet node inherits that of U-boot.

I'll correctly rewriten the reason next.

Thank you,
