bus_id is currently derived from the ethernetX alias. If one is missing
for the device, 0 is used. If ethernet0 points to another stmmac device
or if there are 2+ stmmac devices without an ethernet alias, then bus_id
will be 0 for all of those.
This is an issue because the bus_id is used to generate the mdio bus id
(new_bus->id in drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_mdio.c
stmmac_mdio_register) and this needs to be unique.
This allows to avoid needing to define ethernet aliases for devices with
multiple stmmac controllers (such as the Rockchip RK3588) for multiple
stmmac devices to probe properly.
Obviously, the bus_id isn't guaranteed to be stable across reboots if no
alias is set for the device but that is easily fixed by simply adding an
alias if this is desired.
