No, my system is not MPC based. I'm working on new board and CPU 
(Gemini) support in u-boot. My SoC has two GMAC controllers.
btw, what is the right way to add new Ethernet driver?
Should I define CONFIG_CMD_NET and CONFIG_NET_MULTI in my board config?
Or should I define eth_* funtions right in the driver code?
