+/*
+ * Explicit placement of the ethernet interfaces
+ *
+ * eth0 is the "master" port for the DSA switch and hence shall be
+ * placed on the index (position) 1 (as net_if_get_by_index() uses
+ * internally '_net_if_list_start[index - 1]' linker generated symbol).
+ *
+ * lan{123} shall be placed afterwards (sorted) so the order will be
+ * correctly preserved.
+ *
+ * If ip_k66f have had eth1 interface - it shall be placed afterwards
+ *
+ * The last entry with `._net_if.static.*` is to accommodate ethernet
+ * interfaces created in tests/samples - like e.g. _net_if.static.eth_test)
+ * in tests/net/vlan/src/main.c
