Hi Sergei,
Thanks for your patch. What's the reason behind the r8a7778 SoC using
a compatible string for r8a7779 like "renesas,ether-r8a7779"?
It seems that you assume that the r8a7778 ethernet controller is 100%
compatible with r8a7779. Is that really true? For earlier versions the
sh_eth hardware documentation was anything but accurate, so it seems
to me that it must be more safe that r8a7778 would be using
"renesas,ether-r8a7778". What do you think?
Thanks,
/ magnus
