Because it is a on-chip MAC controller and L1 manager of Blackfin kernel

some option and built the driver in kernel image for some embedded

So chose once, compile once and maybe never change on customer side.


Yes, that maybe more elegant. I write it down in my task list.


It is easier for customers.


No problem, we will add some comments for this silicon anomaly.


This DEBUG code is removed in my try#2 driver patch.

Maybe the word "CARDNAME" is little confused. I will change it to
DRV_NAME and
device name will be set as DRV_NAME.


That is an anomaly. Currently, blackfin kernel and toolchain have some
compile options such as -mcpu=bf537-0.2 and config option in Kconfig.
Maybe future, we can provide some function such as rev_of_cpu() to get
the rev from the silicon.
