Hi Conor,
What do you think about renaming the SparX-5 binding and adding LAN969x to that?
Cause both are from the current Microchip and from the same UNG
business unit, with
probably more generations to follow.

LAN969x does not really belong in Atmel bindings to me, but I am flexible.

Regards,
Robert
