+	  interface units of the Marvell EBU SoCs (Kirkwood, Orion5x,
+	  Dove, Armada 370 and Armada XP).
+
+	  For now, this driver is only needed for the MVNETA driver

+	  future by the MV643XX_ETH driver.

+ * Driver for the MDIO interface of Marvell network interfaces.
+ *
+ * Since the MDIO interface of Marvell network interfaces is shared
+ * between all network interfaces, having a single driver allows to
+ * handle concurrent accesses properly (you may have four Ethernet
+ * ports, but they in fact share the same SMI interface to access the
+ * MDIO bus). Moreover, this MDIO interface code is similar between
+ * the mv643xx_eth driver and the mvneta driver. For now, it is only
+ * used by the mvneta driver, but it could later be used by the
+ * mv643xx_eth driver as well.
