Using Markus's idea, why not use a cpu (platform) specific *and* a board specific init function, both with an empty weak alias in the common eth.c code:

cpu_eth_init(bis); board_eth_init(bis);

Why?

The whole point about this exercise is to get rid of board-specific knowledge in the common code. What is the purpose of cpu_eth_init()?
