ethernet-ports are preferred.

This is backwards to me, instead of an 'ethernet-switch' with 'ports',
we have a 'switch' with 'ethernet-ports'. Whatever.

The rationale AFAIR was that dual Ethernet port controllers like TI's 
CPSW needed to describe each port as a pseudo Ethernet MAC and using 
'ethernet-ports' as a contained allowed to disambiguate with the 'ports' 
container used in display subsystem descriptions. We should probably 
enforce or recommend 'ethernet-switch' to be used as the node name for 
Ethernet switch devices though.
