Yeah this series needs to be tested and discussed, I am rounding up all
my stmmac platforms in my ever-growing pile of HW as I'm building my
own test farm, but all the glue stmmac boards I have are the ones that
are fairly well maintained (imx-dwmac, dwmac-stm32, sdwmac-socfpga...).
I don't have any stmmac that use the integrated PCS :(
