This patch series extends the Atmel MACB driver to support the Cadence
GEM (Gigabit Ethernet MAC) to support 10/100 operation.  The GEM is
based on the MACB block but has a few moved registers and bitfields.
This patch series attempts to use the MACB accessors where block
functionallity is identical and only overrides to GEM specific
acccessors when needed.

This has been runtested on a board with a Cadence GEM and compile tested
for all at91 configurations and a number of avr32 configurations.

Changes since v1:
	- AT91 now provides a fake "hclk" and "macb_clk" has been
	renamed to "pclk" to be consistent with AVR32.
	- Configurable GEM receive buffer size support has been added.
	- pr_foo() and dev_foo() have been converted to netdev_foo()
	where appropriate.
	- New conditional accessors (macb_or_gem_{read,write}l) have
	been introduced that do the conditional accesses dependent on
	macb/gem type.
	- GEM is now dynamically detected from the module ID rather than
	platform device name.

Jean-Christophe, I haven't based this on your conditional clock patch as
I wasn't sure what decision had been made on that and whether the
at91/avr32 detection is reliable.

I'm happy to ACK this so you guys can merge this via one of the
ARM trees:

Now, tell me if we need to setup a git tree with this and make it 
handled by linux-next (we do not have for at91 yet)?
or Russell can take the series in a "devel" branch?

Thanks for testing Nicolas!

I have an existing tree for this at

	git://github.com/jamieiles/linux-2.6-ji.git macb-gem

based off of 2.6.38 (with your ACK's now added) and I'd be happy with 
either route.

but we must detect the gem via the version register and ditto for macb for
avr32 and at91

so please rebase it over my patch

and you get my sob too

Best Regards,
J.
