Please see the thread titled:

"net: ethernet: Initial driver for Synopsys DWC XLGMAC"

which seems to be discussing consolidation of various drivers
for the same IP core, of which stmmac is one.

I personally am against any change of the driver name and
things like this, and wish the people doing that work would
simply contribute to making whatever changes they need directly
to the stmmac driver.

You really need to voice your opinion when major changes are being
proposed for the driver you maintain.
