Thank you for your work to upstream more support for the RZ/G1C!

The problem here is that Biju and the team only have iwg23s-sbc boards [1], which only expose these interfaces on external headers, in many cases without the require transceivers etc., meaning that testing is difficult.

This is why we omitted them from the initial RZ/G1C upstreaming.

Some interfaces are pretty low risk, so the maintainers may well accept some of your patches without testing I guess?

I think you'd also need PFC changes.

Kind regards, Chris
