This patch series prepares the old at91_ether driver for code
sharing with the macb driver. The hardware is similar except for DMA
TX/RX, so its not quite clear if it is practical to support both in
one driver. But stuff like MDIO and statistics should be possible to
share.

All applied, thanks.

Can you get rid of that HAVE_NET_MACB thing?  It's completely
pointless.  This is a platform driver for crying out loud,
therefore it can successfully build on any architecture.  And
we want this exposed for build testing as far as we can.

I'll post a patch series soon which will make all cadence Ethernet
drivers buildable on any architecture.
For macb it will remove the pointless HAVE_NET_MACB and for at91_ether
it will remove the mach include by shuffling some quirk code in a
machine board setup.
