From: Javen Xu <javen_xu@realsil.com.cn>

This is not the standard ethernet driver. It specially handles the
management function.

I tried to submitted to linux/net-next before, but they said these class
didn't belong there. So I came here, and I'm wondering if these unknown
classes used for management functions should be submitted here.

Thanks,
Javen Xu
