USB-C POE support

[jonfen]

Will we be able to use something like this:

Instead of adding the ethernet jack to the unit?

in theory, yes!
I suspect that this adapter is using a regular USB-Ethernet chipset. Those are somewhat unstable and use a lot of CPU time which could be saved by using the internal NIC.

But the hardware should support USB host mode on the USB-C plug and the software should follow soon (although we still have some problems there, see Ottercast/buildroot-ottercast-audio#27 )
