Hi Andrew

Thanks for your comments.
This patch is almost a clone of "net: stmmac: Refactor EST implementation"
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c3f3b97238f6fd87b9d90b9a995ee5e69f751a74
Many decisions were made based on that patch.

I will submit a new patchset with splited patches and make function callbacks more logical.
