Hi Russell

Sorry for not replying. I was on a plane by then.

I would put both patches via netdev, to avoid breakage. We have done
this before for the ZII devel board, with the imx maintainers ACK.  I
don't expect any clashes in the DT file. The 10Gb port might be added
soon, but i think there is enough separation in the changes they won't
result in a conflict if they take a different path.

Do you want me to send a v2, with the additional DT patch?

   Thanks
