TODO:
- Continue to make the driver more generic and suitable for other Synopsys
Ethernet controllers used on other architectures (i.e. ARM).
- 10G controllers are not supported.
- MAC uses Normal descriptors and GMAC uses enhanced ones.
This is a limit that should be reviewed. MAC could want to
use the enhanced structure.
- Checksumming: Rx/Tx csum is done in HW in case of GMAC only.
- XGMAC controller is not supported.
- Review the timer optimisation code to use an embedded device that seems to be
available in new chip generations.
