Lets not name it synopsys, for me it is totally fine, but naming it
stmicro/stmmac is not the right way because it seems like it is a driver just
for stmicro products, which is not, is for products that use Designware Ethernet
IPs.

I am volunteering to do this work, let's discuss this.
For me it makes no sens to rename only folder (stmicro/stmmac by synopsys) and
keep stmmac* inside a synopsys folder (that is very confusing). If you propose
that you have to change all.

BUT doing that, we will lose all stmmac driver story and we don't want that.
Totally understand your point. Do you agree on this approach?
rename "stmicro" to "dwc" (designware controllers) and leave stmmac as it is
today. This small change is enough in my point of view and sole the problems you
refer. We would have net/ethernet/dwc/stmmac/.

I can also rename the dwmac4 files and functions to eqos, since soon we will
have a new eqos version.

dwmac4.h -> eqos.h
dwmac4_core.c -> eqos_core.c
dwmac4_descs.c -> eqos_descs.c
dwmac4_descs.h -> eqos_descs.h
dwmac4_dma.c -> eqos_dma.c
dwmac4_dma.h -> eqos_dma.h
dwmac4_lib.c -> eqos_lib.c

What do you think about this approach?

Thanks,
Joao
