So you suggest that we keep the unsigned int fields ISR, IMR, IER, IDR, TBQP in
the struct macb_queue and initialize them once for all in macb_probe() like
patch v2 does but only replace the GEM_ISR1 .. GEM_ISR7 defines by GEM_ISR(n)
in macb.h?
This way there would be to test at run time and we can handle the special
register mapping of queue0.
Is it what you meant?
