Hello Roman

The drivers clearly have a common ancestor, there are far too many
similarities. It clearly wasn't written from scratch for U-Boot.

I will leave this to U-Boot's network subsystem maintainers. As I said,
beggars cannot be choosers in U-Boot. As long as the driver does not
introduce vendor specific stuff to the user API (in U-Boot command
line), then I guess I'll have to be satisfied.
