Hi Ben,

Do we need such controller dependent declarations in netdev.h?
FWIW board_eth_init() is reasonable for me.

And I know we need to go on a step-by-step basis, do you have any
plan to have register/unregister interfaces?

Ah, remove the last 2 lines :-)

[This comment is not for Ben, but for everyone.]

Do we need such alias to empty function? Only __attribute((weak)) is
enough for me. If we have some default behavior which isn't empty, I
can see the weak & alias. Thought?
