Appana,

I certainly can't prototype the solution based on your datasheet and the
code sent... do a sensible proposal, then we can evaluate.

As the IP is separated from the Eth controller, make it a separate
driver (an emulated phy one for instance... even if I don't know if it
makes sense).

I don't know if others have already made such an adaptation layer
between GMII to RGMII but I'm pretty sure it can't be inserted into the
macb driver.

Bye,

Thanks for the quick response will come up with a sensible proposal soon...

This sounds very similar to the altera emac-splitter.
See stmmac driver for how they handled this.

I went through the flow of the stmmac driver but seems to me
It won't suit for my requirement as soc-fpga itself emulates as MAC.
But for gmii2rgmii converter it is not the case I am looking for a solution
Where it can be worked as an emulated PHY driver which doesn't have any
Vendor/Device ID's.

I saw this thread http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2013/03/05/50 
But seems to be there are no further discussions.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions...

Regards,
Kedar.
