GT64260 ethernet

GT64260 ethernet

[Val Henson]

We have a board with the Galileo GT64260 chip and we'd like to use the
gt64260 ethernet driver.  At the moment, its config option is in
arch/ppc/config.in and is controlled by the CONFIG_GT64260 option
(which is not turned on for our boards, CONFIG_GEMINI is).  I'd think
that the preferred way to fix this is to put the CONFIG_GT64260_ETH
option in drivers/net/config.in.  The alternative is to have

if [ "$CONFIG_GT64260" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_GEMINI" = "y" ]; then

I at least prefer to have as many drivers as possible, including
arch-specific ones, in drivers/net and listed in drivers/net/Config.in.
It makes life a lot easier when evaluating all drivers for a common bug,
or common cleanup.

Yes, that make sense.  I'll get that moved over.

This may not be the best place for it but right now, that stuff is in
arch/ppc/config.in.  When you turn on CONFIG_GT64260 (presumably as a
result of selecting your platform--see CONFIG_EV64260), there will be an
additional submenu show up under "Platform support" called "Galileo
GT64260 Options".  Go in there and select the enet drivers you want and
pick a MAC addr if you don't like the default.

I guess that should migrate to the drivers/net Config.in...

The driver worked once but has been broken by the latest checkin (at
least for me).  I have a version that works for me.  I will push it out
sometime next week but if you need it now, let me know and I'll email it
to you.
