The whole point behind this patch is to get rid of the currently application and 
make this a native feature of U-Boot.

In this regard, it is no different than my QE firmware patch.

I can break it into two patches.

Which ones?  How?  These header files look pretty harmless to me.  What if I did 
this:

#include <config.h>

#ifdef CONFIG_VSC7385_ENET

#include <common.h>
#include <asm/io.h>
#include <asm/errno.h>

One of our BSP developers.  I took the code from his application and cleaned it up.
