This is the driver for the MAC 10/100/1000 on-chip Ethernet controllers

(Synopsys IP blocks); it has been fully tested on STLinux platforms.

Currently this network device driver is for all STM embedded MAC/GMAC

(i.e. 7xxx/5xxx SoCs) and it's known working on other platforms i.e. ARM SPEAr.

6) TODO:

 o XGMAC is not supported.

 o Review the timer optimisation code to use an embedded device that will be

  available in new chip generations.
 
 o Add the EEE - Energy Efficient Ethernet

 o Add the PTP - precision time protocol
