Correct, thanks for the tip. I move it to the right patch.

The name is misleading, too. The FEC is not initialized here and the
function is responsible only to set the IOMUX pin multiplexer for the
network controller. Nothing more. The name shoud be something such as
"set_iomux_network".

I can of course surround the function with #ifdef CONFIG_FEC_MXC, but
really do I need ? We cannot change how the processor's pins are
connected on the board, even if we do not want to add network support
for this board. I think it should be ok if the pin multiplexer is always
configured, independently if there is a network device or not.

I get already rid of the meaningless usage. I forget to drop its define.
Thanks !

Right. The mx51evk board has neither NOR nor NAND flash. However, a SPI
flash is available and this defines are required when the spi will be
supported. At the moment, I can drop them and reinsert later.

Best regards,
