Coldfire, d9000e and patch RFC

Hi all,

some months ago i posted to these lists (net, m68k) a patch.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=129447772217552&w=2 <http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=129447772217552&w=2>

I did a small job to allow dm9000e to be used with a Coldfire processor, and for the functional point of view the patch works fine.

I never get the patch approved or a reply to this PATCH V.3 with the reason that explain why cannot be approved, but i am really interested that this job don't remain to me only, some other could need the ability to use the dm9000e chip, a quiet old but very cheap component, with Coldfire. The patch should probably be reworked in a different way, please let me know if i have to arrange the code in a different way, of if some other information are needed.

Well, one obvious suggestion is that you should not introduce any Kconfig option for this and you should get the information about the bus from the bootloader via the device tree.
