> This patch series extends the Atmel MACB driver to support the Cadence
> GEM (Gigabit Ethernet MAC) to support 10/100 operation.  The GEM is
> based on the MACB block but has a few moved registers and bitfields.
> This patch series attempts to use the MACB accessors where block
> functionallity is identical and only overrides to GEM specific
> acccessors when needed.
> 
> This has been runtested on a board with a Cadence GEM and compile tested
> for all at91 configurations and a number of avr32 configurations.
> 
> Changes since v1:
> 	- AT91 now provides a fake "hclk" and "macb_clk" has been
> 	renamed to "pclk" to be consistent with AVR32.
> 	- Configurable GEM receive buffer size support has been added.
> 	- pr_foo() and dev_foo() have been converted to netdev_foo()
> 	where appropriate.
> 	- New conditional accessors (macb_or_gem_{read,write}l) have
> 	been introduced that do the conditional accesses dependent on
> 	macb/gem type.
> 	- GEM is now dynamically detected from the module ID rather than
> 	platform device name.
> 
> Jean-Christophe, I haven't based this on your conditional clock patch as
> I wasn't sure what decision had been made on that and whether the
> at91/avr32 detection is reliable.

I'm happy to ACK this so you guys can merge this via one of the
ARM trees:
