If you're willing, given that this is FPGA-based I think it would be wise
to document not only the boards (physical hardware) that are supported but
also the specific versions of FPGA-based "hardware", e.g. "PLB EMAC v2.00f".
In my experience this has been a problem with things like the Linux ker-
nel; there is no indication of what version(s) of FPGA-based hardware a
given driver is designed for.
