I am a little confused by your comment. The 4 original KSZ9477 DSA
driver files were written by Woojung at Microchip Technology Inc.
There was a complaint the "AS IS" license is not exactly GPL.

It should be submitted formally to net-next instead of a RFC, but it
is probably pointless to do that when there is no code change.

I am hoping these drastic changes of KSZ9477 driver can be accepted
so that the patches can be submitted formally to net-next.
