Since cbb961ca271e ("Use random MAC address when none is given") Varisys Cyrus P5020 boards have been listing 5 ethernet ports instead of the 2 the board has.This is because we were preventing the adding of the unused ports by not suppling them a MAC address, which this patch now supplies. Prevent them from appearing in the net devices list by checking for a 'status="disabled"' entry during probe and skipping the port if we find it.
