Unfortunately that is the case, see this email:

https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg142796.html

dwc_eth_qos and stmmac have some overlap. There seems to be work

Well samsung/sxgbe looks potentially similar to amd/xgbe, but that's
just my cursory look at the code, it may very well be something entirely
different. The descriptor formats just look suspiciously similar.
