The DMAC and EMAC blocks of Gigabit Ethernet IP found on RZ/G2L SoC are similar to the R-Car Ethernet AVB IP. With a few changes in the driver we can support both IPs. Currently a runtime decision based on the chip type is used to distinguish the HW differences between the SoC families. The number of TX descriptors for R-Car Gen3 is 1 whereas on R-Car Gen2 and RZ/G2L it is 2. For cases like this it is better to select the number of TX descriptors by using a structure with a value, rather than a runtime decision based on the chip type. This patch adds the num_tx_desc variable to struct ravb_hw_info and also replaces the driver data chip type with struct ravb_hw_info by moving chip type to it.

I think this is rather the driver's choice, than the h/w feature... Perhaps a rename would help with that? :-) [...] MBR, Sergei
