net: microchip: vcap: use port number instead of netdev name for debugfs

Browse source 
sparx5_vcap_init() runs before sparx5_register_netdevs() in probe, and
its debugfs setup calls vcap_port_debugfs() for every port using
netdev_name(ndev) as the debugfs file name. At that point the netdevs
have only been allocated, not registered, so dev->name still holds the
"eth%d" template and netdev_name() returns "(unnamed net_device)".
Every port tries to create the same file under vcaps/, producing a
flood of warnings at boot:

  debugfs: '(unnamed net_device)' already exists in 'vcaps'
  debugfs: '(unnamed net_device)' already exists in 'vcaps'
  ...

Add vcap_port_debugfs_portno(), a variant of vcap_port_debugfs() that
takes the port's stable hardware port number and uses "p%u" as the
debugfs file name instead of netdev_name(ndev). This makes the file
name independent of registration order; the file still stores and
later dereferences the netdev itself, same as before. sparx5 already
reports the same "p%d" string via ndo_get_phys_port_name(), so the
debugfs name now matches that.

Only sparx5 (and lan969x, which shares this code) is switched to the
new function. lan966x keeps calling vcap_port_debugfs() unchanged, so
this fix does not rename any of its existing debugfs files.
