OK. Stephan, please send v8 with suggested changes with all patches or link to patches which are necessary
to use.
Please also define fake address XILINX_LLTEMAC_BASEADDR in xparameters.h to be compiled.
The same we will do for axi emac driver.

Stephan if you like I can add that changes to my custodian git tree and do final testing
before we ask Wolfgang to merge.

Thanks,
Michal
