Devicetree/OF should be optional. If not, we need to fix it anyhow. So,
the question is how much imx'ism there is really in there.

If that is really true, then two seperate drivers might be the right
choice. Yet, I'd like to base this decision on facts and not
expectations (which might be wrong). I understand that you worked on the
driver for some time now, from a maintanence point of view having only
one driver is preferable, though. That works at least for fec.c.

I am an imx-developer and I won't be annoyed :)
