afaik, theres still no documentation available at all
for the genet in bcm2711 soc.

so everyone just copies what the linux driver does as
closely as possible. which means, once you have problems,
you have no idea if it is because you are *not* implementing
some unneccesary special hw offload feature the linux
driver uses or not...

frustrating, especially if you got problems like these:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1219

and then you get comments like:

"I suppose suggesting using Linux is not helpfull?"

and you know, they have all the secret datasheets...

anyway, not proud of that driver...
