thanks for the review.

Naive question: Is this FEC truly unique to the
iMX27? If not you
should pick a more generic name.
Uh... I think the hardware is pretty the same as that is handled by mcffec.c driver but merging won't be very easy...
There are other i.MX processors with FEC. As Ben pointed out I also think it would be better if you could use a more generic name for the FEC driver (fec_mxc for example, if the merge with the Coldfire driver is not easy)

Uh... I didn't know that... As far as I can see Linux driver supports only i.MX27...
