Again, sorry about this... I hadn't yet addressed ARM with DM_ETH enabled.

At this point I don't see much value in listing the Ethernet devices in
bdinfo. It seems like a bit of a spurious thing to display and as such I
didn't feel like rewriting it to be compatible with DM or implementing the
functions bdinfo's print_eths() uses.  Also, it is only supported on ARM
and Microblaze. The inconsistency also led to my decision to drop it.
