According to this link:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2014-August/186086.html

these SoCs, in particular BCM58622 would belong to the StrataGX network
processors:

>>From the link above, it has Ethernet for sure, and certainly PCIe since
the Wi-Fi chips mentioned in the link above are PCIe chips.

It would be really good if all the work you and Rafal did was usable for
the Cygnus SoCs.
