I can do static inline only when PTP is not enabled (on else branch), 
thus the empty function is defined in the header file (since the init 
function is defined in macb_ptp and used in macb). To differentiate 
between macb versions, I'll add a wrapper.
Would this be ok?

Yes. Another stupid mistake... sorry. I will be more careful next time.

It will support Xilinx.
