Hi Andy,

> Fixes: da722186f654(net: fec: set GPR bit on suspend by DT configuration)

Just a nitpick maybe but I don't really think this need as Fixes: tag.
That commit didn't actually *break* anything AFAIK.
It added WoL support for *some* SoCs that didn't have any in mainline
and didn't hurt the others.
Of course it turned out to be insufficient for the multiple FEC case
so this patch series is a welcome improvement.

This structure has become redundant now that it only contains a single
u32 quirks field.
So we *could* go back to storing the quirks bitmask directly in
.driver_data as was done before.

It's a slight wastage to keep the, now unnecessary, indirection,
though the size impact is small
and it's only used at probe() time not on a hot path.

But switching back could be seen as code churn too...

I don't have a strong opinion on this, so just noting it to see what
others think.
