No.  Configuring the Ethernet pins for USB IO is just a pin routing
board setup task.  You do need to make sure U-Boot sets up the
port_config register correctly, but it doesn't impact the device tree.
 You don't need to change any of the values in the USB node.

However, if the Ethernet device is unused then you should remove the
Ethernet node from your device tree.
