I don't think we can guarantee bind order so this may not be stable over time.

I'm wondering if there isn't a way to use the "ethernet" (ethernet0, ethernet1) alias in DT instead?

Actually the ethernet interfaces are not declared in the device tree, only PCI buses are (at least on this Nanopi board).
The ethernet interfaces are only detected when running "pci enum".

Another option may be to name them "rtl8169@<hexa>", with "<hexa>" reflecting the PCI region address (so it is unique and stable). What do you think?

Cheers,
Etienne
