Steven Hill posted his patch series merging gt64260 ethernet support to
the netdev mailing list last month.  You might look at:

and related patches.

The differences between 64260 and 64360 are so large that they are
unlikely to be merged into a single driver, but a separate driver
is a possibility if someone steps up to do the work.
