What is different between this and the Designware GMAC4 core supported
by drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/ ?

Looking at the register layout, it looks very similar. The layout of the
MAC control register looks similar. The RX queue and PMT registers are
at the same relative offset. The MDIO registers as well.

Can you re-use the stmmac driver?
