Hi Arnd,
Thanks for your suggestions.  it must be set the same strings in dsaf node and every enet node before.
it seems inappropriate. as Rob Herring <[email-masked]> 's suggestions, that would solve associating
enet with a particular dsaf. so we discus the solution with Yisen Zhuang <[email-masked]>.
we decide to use the new way instead of the old one.

Best regards,
yankejian
