Totally understand your point. Do you agree on this approach?
rename "stmicro" to "dwc" (designware controllers) and leave stmmac as it is
today. This small change is enough in my point of view and sole the problems you
refer. We would have net/ethernet/dwc/stmmac/.

I can also rename the dwmac4 files and functions to eqos, since soon we will
have a new eqos version.

dwmac4.h -> eqos.h
dwmac4_core.c -> eqos_core.c
dwmac4_descs.c -> eqos_descs.c
dwmac4_descs.h -> eqos_descs.h
dwmac4_dma.c -> eqos_dma.c
dwmac4_dma.h -> eqos_dma.h
dwmac4_lib.c -> eqos_lib.c

What do you think about this approach?

Thanks,
Joao
