I am very happy to take participate into this topic, but now I have no experience to DSA and i.MX28 MAC,
so I may need some time to increase these knowledge, limited insight could be put to now.

Florian, Andrew could comment more and I also can learn from it :-), they are all very experienced expert.

We also want to maintain FEC driver since many SoCs implemented this IP, and as I know we would also
use it for future SoCs.
