There might be some misunderstanding here. The TSEC driver has already been converted to DM ETH. The driver supports both non-DM and DM. The remaining work is to update LS1021ATWR board codes (ie: board device tree file) to support DM ETH TSEC driver. These won't break the legacy PowerPC platform. PowerPC conversion to DM ETH TSEC driver can be done later.
