Hi Sven.
The mv64x60 is a Marvell host bridge with some I/O ctlrs including 3
enet cltrs. There are virtually identical versions for MIPS (called
mv64x4x) and PPC (called mv64x6x). The mv643xx_eth driver was
originally written by the MIPS folks, as you note, but Dale Farnsworth
has spent a lot of time making it work on both MIPS and PPC. The code
you see in the mv64x60.c file is a part of that. I believe that Dale's
patch(es) have been accepted and are queued to go into the mainline tree
at some point.
Did I answer your question?
Mark
