Coldfire, d9000e and patch RFC

[angelo]

Hi all,

some months ago i posted to these lists (net, m68k) a patch.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=129447772217552&w=2 
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=129447772217552&w=2>

I did a small job to allow dm9000e to be used with a Coldfire processor, 
and for the functional point of view the patch works fine.

I never get the patch approved or a reply to this PATCH V.3 with the 
reason that explain why cannot be approved, but i am really interested 
that this job don't remain to me only, some other could need the ability 
to use the dm9000e chip, a quiet old but very cheap component, with 
Coldfire.
The patch should probably be reworked in a different way, please let me 
know if i have to arrange the code in a different way, of if some other 
information are needed.

Regards,
Angelo Dureghello

Well, one obvious suggestion is that you should not introduce any
Kconfig option for this and you should get the information about the bus
from the bootloader via the device tree.
