Let me reach out to Ketul and see if a private ping helps.

Start with the assumption that USB needs work. That involves the
rtems-libbsd tree and
there is likely code to import from FreeBSD that will help a lot.

SPI and i2c are close to one another in my understanding. Likely Ketul is
referring to changes
in the RTEMS i2c interfaces.

My recollection is that the NIC had performance issues based on the version
of U-Boot
used. There was some traffic at the end of GSoC about this. I don't know if
it was
ever resolved.  But the NIC should work. Maybe worth benchmarking.
