[PATCH v6 0/2] net: mhi: Add support to enable ethernet interface

Add support to configure a new client as Ethernet type over MHI by
setting "mhi_device_info.ethernet_if = true". Create a new Ethernet
interface named eth%d. This complements existing NET driver support.

Introduce IP_SW1, ETH0, and ETH1 network interfaces required for
M-plane, NETCONF, and S-plane components.

M-plane:
Implement DU M-Plane software for non-real-time O-RAN management
between O-DU and O-RU using NETCONF/YANG and O-RAN WG4 M-Plane YANG
models. Provide capability exchange, configuration management,
performance monitoring, and fault management per O-RAN.WG4.TS.MP.0-
R004-v18.00.

Netconf:
Use NETCONF protocol for configuration operations such as fetching,
modifying, and deleting network device configurations.

S-plane:
Support frequency and time synchronization between O-DUs and O-RUs
using Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588. Assume PTP transport over
L2 Ethernet (ITU-T G.8275.1) for full timing support; allow PTP over
UDP/IP (ITU-T G.8275.2) with reduced reliability. as per ORAN spec
O-RAN.WG4.CUS.0-R003-v12.00.
