Is the PSE involved in WiFi? When you come to implement NAT offload,
etc, will that depend on the PSE?

Figure 9-1 of MT7981B_Wi-Fi6_Platform_Datasheet_Open_V1.0.pdf clearly
shows the PSE outside of the GMAC. I'm just wondering if the PSE
should be a driver, or library, of its own, which is then shared by
users, rather than being embedded in the MAC driver?
