Hi Andrew, I only have access to the document for 
dwmac4_core.c and dwxgmac2_core.c, I notice that in the linux mainline
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/
stmmac

it does have stmmac_est.c and stmmac_ptp.c to that support for both
dwmac4 and dwxgmac2, with that I think it is suitable for introducing
another file called stmmac_vlan?
