FWIW, Ethernet should work with DT sheevaplug on 3.11. DT support for
the Ethernet driver was added in 3.12. Therefore, there is a small
board file in 3.11 which just inits the Ethernet
(board-sheevaplug.c). However, CONFIG_MACH_SHEEVAPLUG_DT needs to be
set for that to work. If that is not defined, the board probably
boots fine, but Ethernet does not work.
