The Marvell Yukon Ethernet controller driver has existed in

Buildable as a standalone driver, also as EBC.

Given that all of OptionRomPkg has been moved out of edk2 now, can we
resurrect this driver in edk2-platforms/Silicon/Marvell perhaps?
Yes. The only thing holding it back was me wishing to either improve
on its coding style conformance or at least separate the imported bits
from the UEFI glue. The history of that driver isn't great.
At the same time, as you commented on the DwEmax driver, separation
between MAC and PHY would be a nice thing to have, and that driver
also doesn't.
Yes, but since no generic abstraction exists today, this is going to
be a longer term effort anyway, and so it shouldn't block
reintroduction of this driver.
Then again, the driver is fairly well tested and seems to work OK, so
if someone was to resubmit the final version from
https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git, reworked for
edk2-platforms, I might just go along with it.
OK, so taking the existing code and making it build in edk2-platforms
is not going to be a huge amount of work, and I'm happy to look into
that, provided that there is a point to doing so.
Robin brought this up so I assume he has an interest in this.
Thomas, Alan, could you comment as well, please?
It sounds good to me. The driver worked for us on OverDrive 1000 and
iirc worked for others on Juno.
Alan.
