Hi Michał,

I've make a quick compile and run test on my IB4220
Looks good.

But we must include the file gmac.h from 
arch/arm/mach-gemini/include/mach.
We break the build, if we don't do this.

Other issue is the __raw_writel and __raw_readl functions, we can switch 
to readl and writel. This is due some mistake of the original developer 
(Stormlinksemi) who doesn't understand endianes on ARM

I've tested this driver on my IB4220 only in 100MBit/s mode. PHY is broken.

I have another IB4220 at my home with working PHY
