Thanks for the feedback. How do we proceed from there ? I don't have
access to a lot of datasheets of the different Renesas SoCs, so it's
not easy to figure out which IP variant the SH7786 is using compared to
other Renesas SoCs.

Just out of curiosity, which specific aspect makes you think the
proposed patch is wrong ? Have you noticed a specific register or field
that isn't compatible with SH_ETH_REG_FAST_SH4 layout ?

Note that my patch makes Ethernet work in practice on SH7784, I have
root over NFS working as we speak. This certainly doesn't mean that the
patch is entirely correct, but it definitely means that the
SH_ETH_REG_FAST_SH4 is close enough to what the SH7786 is using :-)

Thanks!
