Pavel, one point of the discussion is that in this case the LED is
controlled by MAC, not PHY. So the question is whether we want to do
"ethmacN" (in addition to "ethphyN").  

Sorry, I missed that. I guess that yes, ethmacX is okay, too.

Even better would be to find common term that could be used for both
ethmacN and ethphyN and just use that. (Except that we want to avoid
ethX). Maybe "ethportX" would be suitable?
