yes, I assume, it is possible to make this code complete generic for all
devices, but we will need to provide some more call backs. For example
enable MAC loop back, enable DSA loopbacks and so on.

Do you have ideas for the new location of generic selftest code and
where  can be added loopback options for different levels?
