Before moving forward, I'd like to share an alternative thought. As noted in the earlier review, this network controller could be used across multiple architectures. To avoid the redundant churn in the defconfigs of every single architecture, I am wondering if we could unconditionally set it to default m in the Kconfig instead.
~/linux/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac$ grep default Kconfig default n default y default STMMAC_PLATFORM default ARC default MACH_INGENIC default ARCH_QCOM default ARCH_LPC18XX default ARCH_MESON default ARCH_MA35 default ARCH_QCOM default ARCH_RENESAS default ARCH_ROCKCHIP default ARCH_RZN1 default ARCH_S32 default ARCH_INTEL_SOCFPGA default m if ARCH_SOPHGO default m if ARCH_SPACEMIT default m if ARCH_STARFIVE default ARCH_STI default ARCH_STM32 default ARCH_SUNXI default ARCH_SUNXI default ARCH_SUNXI default ARCH_MXC default MACH_LOONGSON32 default ARCH_VISCONTI default X86 default MACH_LOONGSON64 No other glue driver does this. Why is this one special? Andrew
