 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.
