Because on PPC4xx for example, all boards are using exactly the same eth_init code (for the SoC interfaces). And I don't like adding this code to more than 80 boards.
All 80 boards have exactly the same ethernet interface (i.e. same kind of PHY, same MII address, etc.)?
Yes, same SoC ethernet interfaces. Currently PHY address etc is configured via config options.
Can't you just add a weak definition of board_eth_init() in the CPU code then?
No. The weak definition is already in net/eth.c.
