Hello Jie Deng
In your cover letter you wrote
dwc-eth-xxx.x
The DWC ethernet core layer (DWC ECL). This layer contains codes
can be shared by different DWC series ethernet cores
Does this mean that code in dwc-eth-xxx.x is common to all
the different Synopsys IPs, GMAC, XGMAC and XLGMAC ?
Regards,
Niklas
