This patch set removes the synopsys/dwc_eth_qos since it was merged recently
to stmmac (dwmac-dwc-qos-eth glue driver).

It also renames stmicro/stmmac to synopsys/ since it is a standard ethernet
software package regarding synopsys ethernet controllers, supporting the
majority of Synopsys Ethernet IPs.

I understand the reason to rename stmmac driver. The only risk I see is that
usual user will be a little bit lost to find code. It seems there no risk of
backward compatibility with current/old DT (I assume you already checked this
point).

I understand your concern, but for the Synopsys IPs users will be clearer what
drivers to use and what current stmmac has to offer.

I agree.

In terms of tests, I tested it and worked out of the box because the same
Kconfig IDs were used assuring the retro-compatibility that David suggested a
few weeks ago. For DT users no problems are expected as well.

Ok, sounds good.

I see that you rename also Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/stmmac.txt. You
have also to change some words inside as it talks about Stmicroelectronics.

You are right. Going to change that and send a v3. Counting on your ack :)
Thanks!

Let's see what David think about that but if there no risk of backward
compatibility with DT, I agree with the series.

In the future we should make an effort to migrate to this new synopsys/
driver package all the Ethernet Synopsys IP drivers scattered in net/ethernet.

  synopsys: remove dwc_eth_qos driver
  stmmac: rename it to synopsys
