IMO, we have to agree on a common strategy making the change for
net-next; I imaged the following steps:

- to port missing feature or fixes from ethernet/synopsys
   inside the stmmac taking care about the documentation too.
- remove ethernet/synopsys
- rename ethernet/stmicro/stmmac to ethernet/synopsys

   These latest two have some relevant impacts.

   This change should be propagated to all the platforms that are using:
       CONFIG_SYNOPSYS_DWC_ETH_QOS and CONFIG_STMMAC_ETH
   plus device-tree compatibility.

- enhance the stmmac with new features and new glue (part of these
   can be anticipated for sure).

what do you think? does it make sense? If yes, we can also
understand how/who starts.

Regards,
Peppe
