Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] gianfar: Implement workaround for eTSEC74 erratum


I really don't see any value at all to this config option,
the errata fixup code should be there all the time.

It really does no harm to be there in the cases where it isn't
used, and forcing users to turn this on is just another
obscure way to end up with an incorrect configuration.
