Yes, well, they get the same mac address at least. But does it matter?
This changes davinci_emac_3517_get_macid, the only way to get there
is:

     if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "ti,am3517-emac"))
         return davinci_emac_3517_get_macid(dev, 0x110, slave, mac_addr)

and the only user of ti,am3517-emac is arch/arm/boot/dts/am3517.dtsi,
which only has one emac. So the change is already am3517 specific.

Given above, it is already am3517 specific. Let me know if you prefer this
route then I will have a look at it.
