Hello Linux Maintainers, Sumit

First, I am terribly sorry about this half-assed patch. Generally I am
doing all the required checks. But this change seemed so
trivial... Anyways, lesson taken, this will not happen anymore.

Maybe it would be better to access reset in U-Boot by index, in the
same way as linux kernel does? I am not sure that "stmmaceth" will be
correct from the semantic point of view.

As I understand, "stmmac" name is used due to historical reasons in
Linux, as this driver was introduced for STM SoC initially. But the same
IP block is being used in many different SoCs made by different vendors
and there is nothing STM-specific left in it anymore. Especially taking
into account that this IP-block was designed not by STM but by
Synopsys/DesignWare.
