Hi Oleksij,

Yes, I can try to implement it when I am free, but I still have some questions:
1. Where we place the generic function? Such as mac_loopback().
2. MAC is different from PHY, need program different registers to enable loopback on different SoCs, that means we need get MAC private data from "struct net_device".
So we need a callback for MAC drivers, where we extend this callback? Could be "struct net_device_ops"? Such as ndo_set_loopback?
