Hello Raslan,

Sorry for the delay.

I have had a little trouble reading the patches. I think the 3 first
should be squashed into a single one, it would be more coherent.

I think I have seen a few points where doing so would have prevented
some unnecessary changes for example, simplifying the series. (thinking
about at least two PORT_ID() and a few ETH() removal that might have
been prevented, I will try to point them all to you.)

Beside the squashing, this patch seems ok.
