By "legacy embedded-DMA (1G) path", I meant the legacy non-dmaengine 
flow in the driver. This path does not use the dmaengine framework and 
therefore does not communicate with the Xilinx DMAEngine driver; 
instead, the AXI Ethernet driver handles the DMA programming directly.

I agree that "legacy embedded-DMA" could be confusing here. I'll rename 
it to "non-dmaengine flow" in the next revision.

Thanks,
