Hello Ozgur,

Thanks for your feedback.

For now we are interesting in improving the synopsys QoS driver under
/nect/ethernet/synopsys. For now the driver structure consists of a single file
called dwc_eth_qos.c, containing synopsys ethernet qos common ops and platform
related stuff.

Our strategy would be:

a) Implement a platform glue driver (dwc_eth_qos_pltfm.c)
b) Implement a pci glue driver (dwc_eth_qos_pci.c)
c) Implement a "core driver" (dwc_eth_qos.c) that would only have Ethernet QoS
related stuff to be reused by the platform / pci drivers
d) Add a set of features to the "core driver" that we have available internally

Thanks,
Joao
