Being a Marvell SoC and switch maintainer, i have around a dozen
boards. Some i got some simply by asking the manufacture, others i
purchased. I don't think i'm in the minority here. Without having
access to a number of different hardwares, i don't feel i would be
doing my work properly.

You made a move to rename stmmac to synopsys not long ago. It gave the
impression that synopsis wants to take over this driver. If there are
a number of different configurations, who better than synopsys to
actually properly test these configurations? If you ask around, i'm
sure people will send you hardware.
