Dear Stephan,

Xilinx LocalLink Tri-Mode Ether MAC driver can be used by Xilinx Microblaze or Xilinx ppc405/440 in SDMA and FIFO mode. DCR or XPS bus can be used.
Joe, Wolfgang: I don't agree with this driver because it is doing the same things as my origin version but on 800 lines instead of 1860lines. The next thing is that plb bus on Xilinx fpgas is getting obsolete.
Are you meaning that you already have a driver in u-boot that works on this hardware or do you mean the original version somewhere else, like Linux?
As for plb being near obsolescence, are you recommending a change to the driver to drop support for that bus option? Or do you mean for that reason the driver itself should be omitted?
I am not going to add it to my microblaze custodian tree. If you like this patch please add it to u-boot-net tree or directly to mainline.
I was actually going to recommend that it go through the microblaze branch if it is primarily for microblaze targets. If you don't want it, then I think Stephan needs to work to convince you by making revisions.
Thanks, -Joe
