Hi Manish,

first of all, forget about the yosemite, as I am no longer using it. I
am currently working on our own platform port.

All the components of the Ethernet/GPI subsystem interrupt the CPU
through the interrupt vector established by writing to the CPCFG0 and
CPCFG1 registers. So if I want to write a driver that uses one of
the GPIs, or the DUART, or a watchdog counter, or the two-bit interface,
or any other component of the subsystem, then this driver will be
dependent of the ethernet driver. Have a look at the manual if
you do not believe me. The titan ethernet driver is the only one to
use this interrupt _on_the_yosemite_, but this is only because all the
other components are not used at all.

The interrupt setup should definitly be in the platform - please reconsider
your position.

thanks,
Thomas
