By external PF do you mean not connected to the current host? Yes we
could make a flag like that. Right now I have picked "external" to
avoid too specific names like MAC/PHY/Ethernet... There could be a
MAC-to-MAC connection for instance, so no PHY involved. Should we go
with NETDEV_PORT_ETH?
I will make SPLIT into a flag.
